This Windows command line utility returns the current user's user name with a few case options (lower, upper, and title).
I wanted a way to get a user's name in any console/program environment without always depending on an environment's variable. I also wanted a way to programmatically change the case of the string.

This is a Windows command line tool for CMD and PowerShell. There are both x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) versions of the executable.
As with any portable program this can be placed anywhere you like on your machine, but more preferably in a directory that is in your %PATH% environment variable so you can run it without a full path (username for example). I recommend using a dedicated Bin directory, but of course, it's your choice. If your path isn't already in your %PATH% environment then I suggest adding it[1], but if not then you have provide the full path (C:\Path\To\username.exe for example) when executing the program.
