When you installed Windows XP and registered it, it gave your computer a unique name. That name never appears anywhere but in Microsoft records so that when you download updates, Microsoft knows that it's going to your computer. I tried changing mine, and really screwed things up.

Goto Control Panel -> User Accounts
Select the user that u need to rename... and go ahead.. if u have only Admin, then create a new user...
Thats it dude...
