Now user have to give password for login to windows and then again the have to login in my application.

You are saying that the user logging into Windows is, by default, the same one logging into your application at start-up? So why bother logging them in at all? Assume it is the same user and start your application. Unless you have another reason for tracking who is logged in to your application? Then you could use one of these or similar:
Environment.UserNameSystem.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserNameme, me, me "The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right!" Larry Niven nils illegitimus carborundum

You could check to see if the currently logged-in user is part of a particular group, and if so, just let them use the program. Otherwise, make them enter a password.

one user can logout at any time from Application without loogin off from windows. and other user have to login into the application before the use the particular machine. so i have to keep separate user database form my application.

Then there's absolutely no way to use the current windows login info for anything beyond retrieving the currently logged-in user. If anothger user can come along and start using apps on another user's logon credentials, the app MUST ask for user ID and password.
