When you change an account name, it doesn't change all the files/folders
that actually comprise the account. A better solution is to make a new
account (User Accounts applet) named what you want. You can copy files
from another account to the new one if you like.

HI Malke, thank you for your response...

I found this on the MSDN Library:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/comsrv2k/htm/cs_gs_security_xmky.asp
but it does not answer my question... IIS installed the guest user account
"IUSR_<computername>". I changed the name of my computer but the account
name did not change. If I change the <computername> part will IIS still
recognize this as the guest account used for annoymous access to website IIS
serves?

I'm sorry but I really don't know anything about IIS. I would suggest
posting your question in an IIS newsgroup. Here's a list of all the MS
newsgroups so you can find the right one for you:
