Laptop was only gave me my uncle. How do I change to say my name on the user login screen, when I start the computer instead of 'Bob '.

So I just got this laptop from my uncle, and his name is Bob.  When I turn on the computer and need to type in a password to sign in to get to my desk, he says "Bob."  How do I change to say my name... and when I do this it will automatically change my main folder with all my downloads and documents for say my name or if he insists Bob?

I have not thinl there is no procedure for this, the only solution I know is to create a new account with your desired name, copy all the files and the settings for the new user account if you want, and then delete the original account when you are sure that you don't need more.
 
Use the procedure on the article if you want to copy files and settings for the new user account.

    Hello-

    How to 'Welcome' change to accommodate (my name) in the screen of my MSN?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Please join Microsoft Community where you can find the necessary information on Microsoft products!

    My.msn.com page, you want to get as welcome (your name) instead of welcome.

     

    You get your name if you sign in using your MSN or live account.

     

    If you still do not receive the name, then I would say that you get help on the MSN support site:

    Suggestions:

    1 sounds like it comes from a recent issue. If you remember a "good date" when you did not have this problem, a system restore.
    Choose this "good date" as your restore point.

  • How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

    How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.

    I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    HI Thomas,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.

    I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.

  • How can I get Mozilla to use the name of the page for the name of the real instead of the URL bookmark when I bookmark a page

    I just noticed that (in comparison to Internet Explorer): in IE, when you preferred a Web page, it uses the actual name of the Web page (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the name of the bookmark), but in Mozilla, it uses the URL as the name of the bookmark. I was wondering if it was possible to change my Mozilla settings so that it uses the name of the Web page as the bookmark name instead of the URL? I hope that everyone understands what I am getting? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    Firefox uses the tag title for the name of the newly saved bookmark.

    When I bookmark on this forum page I get this for the 'name' of the bookmark.

  • How can I change the name of the computer, C; \Documents and Settings\Margie\MyDocuments had to leave "Margie" or rename

    Using Windows XP - how to change the name on the computer.  Am not able to remove/change the word "Margie":

    C:\Documents and Settings\MARGIE\My recemment\...

    Used Microsoft Help but I am not able to locate where this comes in the settings.   We are on a network (without domain).

    Can you please help.

    Concerning

    Helen

    "MARGIE" in "C:\Documents and Settings\MARGIE\... is not a"computer name", it's a user"Profile name".  Once a user is created and its associated profile, this name cannot be changed directly.  The only practical way to change that is to create a new user, copy the data from the user profile of MARGIE in this new user and then delete the profile of MARGIE.  To do this, pretend that the "MARGIE" user profile is corrupted and then follow the instructions in the following article:

    Geoff

    1. If it is the domain controller, you cannot change the name of the computer by selecting network ID and this is normal.
    2. If it is a member of the computer in domain or workgroup, you don't have permission to change the name of the computer.

    How to setting assisted by Hardvare activate virtualiziation for the computer?

    Original title: the Hardvare-assisted virtualization

    Activation of hardware assisted virtualization is in the BIOS of your motherboard. How depends on the BIOS and the hardware you have.

    See http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2008/01/08/how-to-turn-on-hardware-assisted-virtualization.aspx .

    If your system is a laptop or made by a major system provider such as Dell or HP, the system may not have the option in the BIOS, even if the hardware is able to use hardware assisted virtualization.

    How do access you the list of programs that start when you start your computer?

    First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
    starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
    Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
    Status bar.

    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
    Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
    Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
    Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
    work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
    Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
    the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
    You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
    you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
    others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
    is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
    the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
    Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
    decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.
