Profile Name

Is there any way to change my user profile name in Windows ME without
creating a new user?

TIA

Try http://billsway.com/vbspage/
and look for the 'Change Registered Owner and/or Organization' VBS tool.
(Sixth down the VBS list)

Hi SGB, - Hmm.. I did wonder the moment I pressed Send whether you really
meant Profile as most requests are for ownership changes g

To be honest - I don't know. I've never gone down the 'multiple user' route
except to find that it was a PITA for my particular circumstances. The only
suggestion I can offer is that you set an SR point before you try - that way
you can always get back again!

I know you said that you didn't want to create a new user, but can't you
just copy the existing one and give it a new name, then delete the old one?
But as I said, I haven't really played with multiple users. Sorry if I've
given you a bum steer.

SGB, perhaps this may point you more in the direction you need :-

How to Disable and Delete User Profiles
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156826/en-us

But again, SR or even scanreg /restore seem to be essential tools g

I tried your suggestions, Mart. They didn't work. It's okay though. Thanks
for trying to help though. :-) I sure do appreciate it. if you come up with
any other ideas, I'm game.
The thing is my name has changed, so I want to change it in my system
without reinstalling all my software programs and such.
Ah... the bittersweet world of life and computers.

e.g. I want to change it from Jane Doe to Jane Smith.

Don't you just delete and recreate your profile name in Windows?
There are no strings atttached as far as I know.
Unless I should be mistaken and in that case I stand corrected.
Meanwhile why not try it?

Nope, Harry. I wish it were that easy.
When I created a new a new user, I had to reinstall software, reset
configurations and such.
WARNING WILL ROBERTSON... WARNING... Do not change your name. LOL
