| | Changing Account Names When I first set up my new PC I created but one user with admin permissions and put our dog's name in as the main account name. But when it kept appearing in program installations I wanted to switch it. So I went into CONTROL PANEL > ACCOUNTS and switched it to ADMIN. And indeed most of the time the directory tree is C > ADMIN > DOCUMENTS. But every now and then it shows up as C > FIDO > DOCUMENTS How can I get rid of all reference to Fido? Is it that some programs may still be storing files in FIDO and I need to get in and change them all? Thanks! |
