Hello Vistax64, my name is Lee. My laptop is a Sony VAIO VGN-N365E running Windows Vista Premium. When I first got it I had went by a different name then, so when I did the startup and chose my user account name I used "Songocide". Now I go by intist. Well I was wondering if there is any possible way of changing this name to something else.
Here is a pic to help show what I'm talking about:
So I would want to change it like this:
C:\Users\Songocide
to:
C:\Users\intist
Is there anyway I could go about doing this?
Thank you,
Lee
Yes, but it is a little involved. The only way to change the username at the C:\Users\(username) location is to either create a new account and delete the old one, or reinstall Vista.
2. Delete the old account account from within the new one.
A) Select Keep Files to save the contents of the old account's personal username folders to a folder on the desktop of the new account.
B) Transfer those files into your new user account personal username folders.
