From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a Windows domain); Let's use it. Suggested by Lutz Roeder. To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.
