This new job brings with it my intro into XP. So far I have been pretty
successful in removing all the games and other personal stuff from this unit.
One thing has me stumped tho. By going Start - Control Panel - User Accounts
- Change an Account - Gloria - Change My Name I have successfully erased
Gloria and installed K. However, on the first screen, it still says Turn Off
Gloria's Computer. Would anyone know where I find that change? All ideas,
suggestions, and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.
 
To change the name of a computer, to join a domain, and to add a computer
description, use the Computer Name tab in the System Properties dialog box.
To locate this tab, use one of the following methods:

- Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
- Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Performance and
Maintenance, and then click System.
- In the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button.

Type a name or a description in the Computer description box on the Computer
Name tab, and then click Apply to add a computer description.
