Just out of curiousity .....


I just bought a new Dell computer, when it was firsst
setting it up it asked my to name the administrator. I
want to change the name I choose, Is that possible?

stick with the default - then once the OS is all loaded, do this:

1) open mmc
2) add the Group Policy object
3) Select Local Computer
4) navigate to Local Comp Policy, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local
Policies, Security Options
5) Click the option to rename the admin account
