How can I change the name to the left of the profile picture on the start page of Windows 8?

I just upgraded my PC Windows 7 to 8 Pro. In the start screen, I changed the profile picture on the top right corner, but the name of the left is not a mine or a name that I have attached to my PC. My PC has my correct name including my Microsoft account. How can I change the name? It appears also as a residential group name.

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Forum the Microsoft community.

I understand from your description you want to change the name of the profile picture.

Check the following site for the image:

Control Panel > user account > manage user account > change account name

Hope the above information is helpful. If you have any question back to us, we are happy to help you.

Thank you.

  • How can I change the start page on the Sierra?

    I'm not talking on the desktop or screen saver. I want to talk about the page that appears when you turn on your iMac or when you wake up. This is the page where you enter your password. Sierra that's so terrible ugly. Is there a way I can change it?

    Select a picture - once you have your image to the right size and dimensions, save or export to your desktop as a PNG file and name it com.apple.desktop.admin.png.

    Then, from the desktop, use Cmd-SHIFT-G hotkey to access the go to folder window, type the following path in the box and click OK.

    /Library/Caches/

    A new Finder window appears showing the contents of the path, and you will see a file called "com.apple.desktop.admin.png" in the folder. Make a copy of this file and store it as a backup if you wish (although we'll describe in a moment why it is not really necessary) and then drag and drop the version of the file that you created on your desktop to the folder Caches, agreeing to replace the existing file when you are prompted.

    Installation was completed though, apps had been installed in the defalt directory "C:\Program files".

    In CC helps Packer said as the folliwings on the location of the Installation,

    "The Application Manager offers you the following options for the deployment location:

    Deploy in the default directory of the application: the player is by default the system unit; the default path is \Program Files in Windows/applications under Mac OS.

    Specify the directory for the deployment: allows users to end to specify the installation path when the package is deployed. On Mac OS, users are invited on the user interface, while on Windows, it's a command-line only option.

    ' Specify the directory: enter the path to the location to a specific installation location.

  • How can I change the destination folder to Windows Picture import in the Vista autoplay version. ?

    The destination folder somehow Autoplay went under the windows default 'Photos' parameter in a subfolder in 'Photos' when you use the option 'Import using Windows' Auotplay. Default AutoPlay program area does not choice for import folders, only actions to choose from. How can I change the default import folder back to 'Pictures' Autoplay when importing photos using Windows Vista import?

    If your Options to AutoPlay in Control Panel, Autoplay, devices, (your camera that there are listed) are defined to import pictures using Windows on the menu drop-down, then when you plug your camera you will get a low popup to the right of your screen.

    Click on Options, you will get an another popup that you can change the destination folder.

  • How can I change the opening page to show Web sites

    I used to have a home page that showed my most visited wensites that I always went to now all I get is a blank page. How can I change this back

    Sorry for the confusion. Home page (shows when you open a new window by pressing Ctrl + n) and the new tab (shown when you open a new tab by pressing Ctrl + t) are different parameters.

    To specify the steps for the second part of the answer of cor - el more in detail:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Since it's the integrated behavior, the fact that it changed usually attributed to an add-on. But an add-on is not used to choose a blank page, it doesn't choose a search engine or advertising, so... no idea of what happened, and I hope that when you changed the setting, it will be fine to go ahead.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - How can I change the start property?

    Hello

    How can I chance the A10 coastal boot?
    With ESC, I can access the BIOS, but I can't chance anything except the time.

    Thank you
    Tobias

    Hello!

    I think you should check the BIOS again because as far as I know, there you can change the boot priority.
    In addition, you should find more options in the BIOS as only the Date and time.

    Check it!

    Good bye

  • How can I change the current page on Acrobat Pro DC?

    I'm trying to change the current page in MS Pro, but instead of giving me an option to change only the current page, that he "convert" all pages of the pdf document scanned to make "editable". I wouldn't have a problem with Acrobat do this put that he significantly enlarged the size of the file when it does.

    Extract a page into a separate file. Edit and OCR only one page, backup and replace the original page with the newly edited page.

  • How can I change the starting point of a path?

    It bothers me when I use brushes for a path shape/access line. Is there a function to change the starting point of race in the direction of the form/reverse of a path?

  • How can I change the default location on Windows Photo and Scanner Wizard for registration?

    I have a machine that would save photos from an SD card in a folder the same name as the group by the name of photos. That is to say: I want to save a group of images as "Puppyxx", where "xx" is a sequential number appended to the file in the wizard. In the past, the wizard would create a folder called "Puppy" and put all the photos with the same group name in the folder of the puppy. Now, it is dumping all the photos at the root of the "My pictures" folder I'll have to go and manually move the images. We had a problem week last with server space and had to change the wizard to download the pictures on the C:\ drive rather than on the document server. How do I go about changing the default behavior of the registration wizard so that all I have to do is provide a group name, and the wizard name files properly and place them in the appropriate folder?

    Hello Geekgirl34,

    In the wizard, you can specify a folder, rename batch of images, etc.  I do believe however, that the wizard will automatically make a new folder.  You should see "options" or "advanced options", when importing photos.  You can create your new folder and change the name of the worksheet.

    See you soon

  • How can I change the web page by default when I open additional tabs?

    My home page is set to the default normal page but when I open additional tabs a Yahoo page opens and I don't use it and don't want to do anything with it. I used to get the search page Google/MOY. This only happens when I open additional tabs.

    So, how to set the page that opens when I open additional tabs?

    Thank you!

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the list to the right. (It is possible, that you have a bunch of shit with something free that you recently downloaded).

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?
