Hi Appleoddity
Thanks for your respond.
This is not what I'm looking for.
Try to follow the example I gave with R-click Start,
select Explore and the way it appears in Doc. and Sett.
to understand my request. I'm looking for how to
change the name of the main def. (Administrator I
would think).
When installing XP you are asked to choose a name.
Thanks.
