All,

After re-installing a fresh copy of WinXP, and entering all the necessary details in the setup, it seems that i am now called Administrator rather than Andy like my computer name is.

Therefore, on boot, WinXP gives Admin documents etc.

My question is how to change this Administrator name to Andy and therefore change all the document titles etc, without setting up a new user account, and without reinstalling XP again?!

I originally thought there was something in User Accounts to change the name, but it does not appear to be there, and thus I am confused!

The updates are still filtering through from Microsoft so an update might bring the ability to change.

I want to try and avoid having a welcome screen which requires selection of the user etc, and therefore would creating an additional account mean that this window appears?

I want the fatest boot up possible with regard to minimising user accounts.
