"Login as" not shown

[Chris]

I have renamed my account from "cho" to "christian". On another XP
workstation (workgroup configuration) there is a user named "christian".
Let's name that machine the "host"

Problem: From another computer with an original named "christian" account I
can logon to the "host". I get the login info where I specify the username
and password. From the computer with the "cho"->"christian" changed account
I cannot logon to the "host" . I don't even get the possibility to specify a
user/password. On the host there is a user named "christian" defined and
"chirstian" has access rights and permissions (Sharing and Security tab).

So any idea how to handle that problem?

You cannot simply rename user accounts. Create a new user account and
copy your "cho" settings to it per this link:

You will need to log into the new account once before you can copy
anything to it. Delete the renamed account once you are finished and are
satisfied.

Then go to the other XP workstations and create an identical
username/password that matches the new one you just made. You will now
be able to access its resources.
