Can you change a users name / login username without creating a new user.
For example, one of our users was originally setup as "bill1". I would like
to change this to just "bill", but I do not want to have to change anything
else with his user.


Thank you,
Terry Schawe
 
Terry;
Go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select the option to change the name.
 
You also have to change it in:

Right click on "My Computer" >>
"Manage" >>
"Local Users and Groups" >>
"Users" >>
Right click on the user you want to rename in the payne on the right >>
Select "Rename"

You have to change it in both places, here and in the control panel.
