When I sign in to XP my user name is already visible. All I have to do is type in my password. When I sign off it asks me, "log off (name)?" This is fine and all but I want to change my user name to something else. I can change it in, "user accounts" in control panel, however, if I do that and reboot, the name still remains the same as it was prior to me changing it. It defaults to the old name. Same goes for logging off. It doesn't actually CHANGE the name. HOWEVER......if I literally erase my old sign on name, and replace it with the name i just created, and type in the password I gave it........it accepts it. But why does it not actually APPEAR in the dialog box upon startup and why doesn't it actually APPEAR in the drop down box when I choose to, "log off."?? Why does it STILL show the OLD name??? Do I have to create a whole new account under my desired name and just delete the old one?
