Yeah, so when I was registering my new laptop, I think I skipped a step and it has a generic name now..
Ex: C:\Documents and Settings\HPOwner\My Documents\My Music How do you change that? I've been searching around for it for a while, but I can't find anything.  I know for a fact that it's not the computer name. I tried it already. I also tried renaming the administrator account, but that doesn't work. I have a feeling that it was the original administrator account name, though, but I don't know how to change it.  So guys, how do I change it? Help is very much appreciated!

There was, but I changed it.. My username on it is Elaine, but in the My Documents folder, it still shows up as HPOwner.
Do I have to reregister/reinstall, or is there another way to change it? |
