Changing User Name (System Wide) [XP Home] |
|
|
Hello...
Selling my old Dell 8250 to a friend; & as part of the file/folder cleanup & prep...I wanted to change the PC's User Name from mine to his.
I first went to User Accounts...changed it there...& it now reads as his name everywhere except under 'Documents & Settings'. So, I broke out the XP bible (Bott & Siechert) to find out how to get to the Administrator Account.
But Windows won't let me change it there.
So I tried to manually rename the affected folders under 'Documents & Settings'...but Windows won't let me change it there either (claiming it's a system file).
Hoping there's a way to accomplish this...I don't want my name popping up on my friend's machine.
Thanks,
