Thanks for the tip. I don't think this is the case here. I don't have any network passwords stored. I am using XP Home version on the Laptop. So, I have limited resources to modifying these kinds of things. All I did was change my name in control panel. Im not sure what Windows really does under the hood. When I connect to samba as 'adzikiewicz' it works, but when I telnet to my own machine (using Universe telnet ) it still wants me to be 'anthony dzikiewicz' and not 'adzikiewicz'.
Normally, this wouldn't be a real issue. I can live with logging in as 'Anthony Dzikiewicz'. However, our applications do things in the login and on.exit paragraphs and in various applications with user name retrieved via @LOGNAME. When @LOGNAME = 'anthonylaptop\Anthony Dzikiewicz' it is awkward because of the space. Keyvalues with spaces are awkward to deal with.
