    Can not change MS account to local account


    I am running 2004 and I set up my laptop with a MS account, I dont like the fact that it shouts my full name everywhere but the setting does not appear anywhere to log in as a local account which it should and I have followed many guides to fix this and none of them did fix it. Is there anyone who could help me?

    Is your User account part of your mobile phone number or your email address?
    Look in C: Users... Phone will be first 5 numbers. Email will be first 5 letters of the name you use in your email.

    The name of my users folder is my first name then the first letter of my last so 5 characters. I did not register my account with a phone number either

    What happens when you work through each step of this procedure?
