Hi,
I am writing a program to limit user access to certain data on harddisk according to user name. For example, a user named Head can have all access to all the data on harddiks, while a user named Lily can only have access to data on driver E:. My programe runs in kernel as a system service.
What I want to know is how I can get and recognize user name in kernel. Are there any routines that can get the current user’s name? Or can I recognize user by something else, such as SID or TOKEN?
Thanks!

Why kernel driver for that ?
Right click on the drive, Properties, Security, and there you go 
L.
Use SIDs instead of names in kernel mode. Names belong to the management UI
only.

in kernels u use SID, not user names. but from ur requirements it looks like
u could use inbuilt features of windows itself!
