I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Home on a Dell PC.
Now when I log onto my Windows 2000 Pro server it sees
the user as Owner. How do I change the user so I don't
have to put in my username everytime I log onto my
network??

Please help,
Pam
 
Go to Control Panel -> User Accounts and click the "Create a new account"
button. Name the new account to be the username that you want, set the
passwords the same, and then use that account to log into the computer.

You will need to move any documents from "My Documents" or desktop items
from the "Owner" account you are using now to the new account. To do that,
the easiest way is to log in as Owner. Then, make a directory on the C
drive and copy everything from My Documents into it, and make another
directory to copy everything from your desktop into. Next, log in to the
new account, and just move the stuff from the new directories to the My
Documents and desktop for the new account.
