Change Name

[KiwiBrian]

After an installation of XP SP2 the system has a default name of 'test' that
it often offers me when I am installing new programs.
How can I change this to "Brian" (without the quotes)?
TIA

Hi

Start- Settings - Control Panel - System - ^Computer name^ tab

Then click change and change the name.
Also check how is your username written.
