| Are we talking XP home here or XP Pro?  I just purchased new computer with
| XP Home (OEM) version preinstalled.  This business of accounts and users is
| very confusing. Like the original post I will very likely be the only user
| 98% of the time.  I do like the fact that my documents under my profile are
| kept confidential though.
| When I finished the setup at home I chose to type in USER as my name as I
| had to return a prior computer that was malfunctioning and did not like the
| fact that my name was on it.  Now though I would like to change the logon
| and the C:\Documents and Settings\USER to my real name. Can't seem to find
| out where to do this
| Norton Internet Security 2003 also came preinstalled. I had to uninstall and
| re-install to get the Account User features of that product in order to
| protect all logons.  I chose to accept the Windows Users option when setting
| up NIS2003.  Of course it shows USER instead of my name which I would want
| to change.  It also advised that other Windows Users accounts were
| Administrator and Guest.  I can find Guest but where do I find
| Administrator?
