About 12 months ago I bought a PC and installed Windows XP Home Edition. I
have since bought another PC and want to let my son have the 1st one. Is
there an easy way to change the user name from mine to my sons without
having to re-install XP?
Thanks,
Mike.

Thanks David. It's a bit obvious now you mention it (hides embarrassment!).
