Changed admin name - how about the corresponding folder in Documents and settings
I have a laptop running WinXP pro and have no other user other than the
built-in admin a/c. I know how to rename the same to say "John" by using gpedit.msc (group policy). Doing this does display John's name above start menu and on the log-in screen (if i tweak it to) but the folder under Documents and Settings remains 'Adminitrator' and does not change to John's documents ... Can this be done without any problems and without adding another user with admin rights (becoz i can't delete this new admin rights account later as windows expects one admin user a/c created in addition to the built in one) please help or am i just talking impossible gibberish |
