I have a hand-be-down computer and would like to change
the default name from the prior owner to mine. All
existing programs and new ones installed automatically
assume that the user is the prior owner and I'd like my
name to show instead. Thanks for your help.
 
Right click on My Computer
click on Properties
Click on the Computer Name tab
Click the Change button
 
Right click on 'my computer'->'computer name'
However this may not change the name on the installed
programs.
