Hello everyone,
My wife recently purchased a Notebook computer and the place where she purchased it has misspelt her User ID name, and I'd like to see if there is a way of correcting this without editing the registry.
The OS is Vista Home Premium, so, the feature Local Users and Groups is not available under Manage Computer.
Changing the account name under User Accounts is only superficial and I would like to completely remove all reference to the incorrect name.
IE Computer>Drive C: > users, still only shows the wrong username and there is no provision to rename it even..
I contacted the shop of purchase and they will fix it, but for a tech fee of $100 as they say my wife wrote her name incorrectly. Possible for anyone I guess, but highly unlikely.
If anyone could help me with this annoying problem, I will be most grateful.
With thanks in advance for any and all help
