Change the names of user account on an old Dell laptop

Original title: USER PROFILE

I JUST BOUGHT A SECOND HAND DELL INSPIRON 1300, I WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE USER PROFILE. IN THE PANEL OF CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ADVANCED THERE IS ANOTHER CHANGE OF NAME ALONG THE COAST MINE CAN YOU THIS XP TO HELP THANK YOU

You can change usernames, but you cannot change the profile names.

If you want a new profile name, the best method is to create a new user with the desired name.  After that, you can copy the data to another profile to the new user name or simply delete the other profiles.  If you want to copy the data, simply pretend that the existing account is corrupt and follow the steps in the following article:

"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

You can delete the old user profiles by removing the users in Control Panel users or go to:
Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> Advanced (tab)-> settings (in the user profile section)

    Hello

    What you see in system properties / user profiles window is normal. It shows the name of the computer + your user account name.

    You can change your user account name.

    Press the Windows key + X to display the System Menu , and then click Control Panel.

    Select the user accounts , then click on the option change the name of your account .

    One thing that you must be aware, is that, even if you change your account name, the only place where you can see the new name is on the Log In screen and the start screen. All of your user files will still show the old name in the file Explorer.
