I'm running Windows XP Professional and have taken over a computer that an ex-employee used. I changed the user account name to my name, but it still shows the old username when I start up the computer. How do I change this?

Hi,I would suggest you to create a new user account and if you have any data, then copy the date to new user account.Follow the steps from the below link:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151Azam – Microsoft Support.Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and, if you have any feedback you can post here.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to follow the steps in the link you provided, however, there's no Folder Options under Tools in my Windows Explorer (I'm running v. 8). Any further suggestions?
