    Username with computer name profile?


    I created a new user account and logged into that account as Administrator. Then I deleted the old user account under the profile settings and then finally, deleted the old account.

    However, I noticed that for the new account profile folder, it has my computer name along with it.

    For example, UserAccount.ComputerName

    Has anyone came across this before?

    I have a REG file that I created that changes the User Name and Computer Name Post Installation. However, this might be useful if you want to CHANGE your Computer Name . . .

    I hope this helps.
