Hi! Hope someone can help. I have another post going in
Admin. My computer was upgraded from 98 to XP Home. I
noticed that in Explorer under Documents and Settings -
NAME, my name is spelled wrong. The guy that upgraded my
motherboard and CPU as well as XP says that that is
something that came from the upgrade to XP from 98.
Everyone tells me that there is not a way to change it. On
another post they gave me Knowledge base articles on
copying the files to a new (corrected) user name, taking
ownership for the folder and files and then deleting the
old user name. Well, disaster ensued and I lost a lot of
data in the process because I am sure I messed something
up. I did a system restore but it would not work. I
reinstalled Office and got Outlook to work again but I
lost all my favorites in Internet Explorer and many Word
an Excel files that I originally had. Some I have a backup
on. I can live with that but this name thing is driving me
crazy! Is there anything that you can do except wipe the
drive, reinstall window 98 and then upgrade again to XP to
get the name correct? This seems like something that
Microsoft would have thought of. I only have the upgrade
version of XP home.
Thanks for any help that you can provide!
Scott
