Hi All, I have been monitoring this thread because I would like the answer
to the original problem as well. I have worked on a friend's computer and
have had no success changing the designated owner's name in the C:/Users
folder. I have even changed the registered owner's name in the registry and
it still will not work. The name is correct everywhere else, but it simply
will not change the name in the above listed location.

I have tried all of that. None of it worked. The folder I am talking about
is local disk c under users.

Select the folder and press the Applications key to bring up the context
menu. Use the arrow key to get to the "Rename" item and hit Enter.
Pressing F2 when the folder is selected should also work.

How would I do this? There is no option to rename the user folder under
local drive.

Hi, all you have to do is rename it.

You could look in user accounts in control panel.

How would you change the user name then?

Are you certain that you are talking about the computer name and not the
user name? I do not believe the computer name will show up anywhere in
the
menus. Type "Network" into the Start menu search box to get a list of
computers and devices on your network.
To change your network name or workgroup name, press the Windows key +
the
Break key (the last key on the right end of the function keys), to bring
up
the System Control Panel. Hit Tab until you get to a button labeled
"Change", and press Space. Press Tab to the "Change Name" or something
similar button. In this dialog and press Space. It will now allow you
to
change the computer name and workgroup name. As you press the Ok
button,
it
will ask you to restart.

Hi,
I have a question.
I recently purchased a new laptop with windows seven
professional and I made a mistake which I don't know how to
undo/change.
There was an area where I typed the name of the computer which I typed
my
name but made a typo. Is there a way I can fix this?
My name shows correctly on the start menu, and the welcome screen but
not
in
the user folder in the local drive.
