DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName);
string userNames="Users :  ";
foreach (DirectoryEntry child in directoryEntry.Children)

    {
        userNames += child.Name + Environment.NewLine   ;         
    }
 
}
MessageBox.Show(userNames);

foreach (DirectoryEntry child in directoryEntry.Children)
{

    {
        userNames += child.Name + Environment.NewLine   ;
