You can actually hide entirely (to avoid future problems heehee):
1. Download TweakUI ( http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe ) and install it

2. Fire it up and under the "Taskbar and Start Menu", uncheck the box labeled "Show name in Start Menu"

To change the name displayed:
1. Control Panel
2. User Accounts
3. Click on the one corresponding to yours
4. Change my name
5. Done

I think I know what you're talking about...i thought you could control that with right clicking the name and selecting properties, but you can't.

do this:
Start>Control panel>User accounts/ After that, click on your account name and choose 'change my name'. If your boyfriend isn't nice, he might have set your account settings to where you can't change it... If you can change it, then that means that you can change his name!

edit:

you can also change your picture if you want.

Beat ya to it

If your boyfriend isn't nice, he might have set your account settings to where you can't change it...

It's WindowsXP there's always a way around it

i am not seeing where it sayes to change name. i am just seeing add (new account) remove and properties

humm... try properties.

Is diffrent names poping up? Are you on a network where the computer you're on only has one user (yourself)?

I'm not sure, and praetor probably already replied, but you might have to check your network settings?

he is a user too. I know i am a administrator. And when i click properties it is just talking about lmaking me a restricted user and stuff. nothing about changing it. i did see my computer name is the same it is just when i click start and at the top he can change what that says (from his computer) the bad thing he is a computer freak lol i just wanna show him i can change it too! lol

 

[Fure6]

don't know what to tell you, but i bet that praetor knows... lol

I think you missed a step in there... See the pictures
