| | Changing acount name I recently upgraded to a 2nd hand vista machine, and I can't get rid of the original username on here. I've gone to account settings, user profiles and changed everything I can find (the name of the computer, the account name etc) but can not get the name to change ie. the login is Jo, the user account name is Jo, the computer is called Jo's computer, even C:/ drive is called Jo but the main folder (Computer/C:/Users/Benny). There is no way to just click on this folder and rename it, although the secondary login can be renamed by doing this. Has anyone else had this problem? Where does one go to get their own name on the Users folder? |

| | Re: Changing acount name Hello, yes, the user name folder is not to rename. So, I'd make a temporary folder outside the user's folder, copy everything what is needed there and delete the user, create a new user, copying the personal files into the newly created user's folder. I don't think there's another solution. Greetings, P.
