How to change properties of custom control?

How do I change the USER name on my computer/Hard Drive?

  • YES: I have changed the name of my computer under the Control Panel/Change Settings/Computer Name. YES: I have used command prompt regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE, to change the registered name of the computer. I am talking about how to change the name of my computer so when I it control+alt+delete and click on USER names it no longer shows “Becky”. When I go to Local Disk (C:) --> Users ---> It shows "Becky" with a lock on it. I can't right click and rename, and when I hit 'properties' the name is locked. I have tried everything. IS this even possible without making a new account, transferring the files, and deleting "Becky"? I am running Windows7 Home premium addition. I only have one account, and YES I am the administrator.

  • Answer:

    YA, there is not really a way to do that. Your computer set all of that stuff when you first created that user or got the computer. It is protected so no one can get into/change your stuff. If it really bugs you that much then I would get a new user and transfer files. It may not be worth it though. Hope this helped!
