You can also get account name of special accounts like "Everyone" with code like this that will work regardless of user's language settings:

   SecurityIdentifier everyoneSid = new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null);
   string everyone = everyoneSid.Translate(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString();
