Well I just got my new computer today running on Windows Vista Home Premium and I was just browsing through it since I had never used a computer running on Vista before. Then I noticed that my account name was "owner". So I went into Control Panel>User Accounts and changed it to my name. However when I went into Task Manager I noticed that it still said "owner" under User. My question is: how do I change that?
 
AFAIK you can't. You can change the display name that is shown, but the original name is going to be stored unless you delete it and re-add it.

Click to expand...

Or you can create a new account, then copy the "owner" user folder to your new account.
Finally, dont forget to delete old user folder.:rolleyes:
