| hey everyone, i got a windows vista laptop from fry's electronics, it was a floor model, and being such, it had the standard frys user profile, they went and reimaged it, so it was a fresh profile when i started and they told me i could rename it whatever i want. so now for the problem, i changed my username and it shows my name as changed on the loggin screen and when i look at it in the user profiles manager, but on the file level, it still says fry's electronics, this is quite annoying as i have to issue command line functions under the fry's electronics name. I have already tried to rename the user directory by myself, but it told me to take a hike, so does anyone have a similar issue that they fixed or a solution to mine thanks in advance Jacob Triffo | Guest

| If anyone will correct me if I'm wrong, but when you create a user with a certain name, the file name is permanent. What you want to do is backup all of your files and settings and create a new account for yourself with your name (you may need to rename Fry back to the way he was). Once you have this done and you've made yourself at home, delete Fry. "sempri_fi" wrote: Quote:
