Hi there,

-> the computer name is peter
-> full computer name is peter

however.
as i enter 'cmd'
it is display as
-> c:\users\adminSch

and when i went to the user folder.
there is a adminSch folder
but not the peter folder.

y is that so?
 
Peter

What is the name of the account you are logged on with?

Open Control Panel / User Accounts. What are the names of all the accounts
there?

The computer name is usually set to the name of the first user account
created on the system, unless you change the name. This can be changed
without effecting the names of the user accounts.
 
And a little more Pete r-

You can change your user-name using Controlpanel>Useraccounts,
but it will not change the name of your userfolders.
And don't try rename them.

If you want your username and your folders name to be Peter, this is what to
do:
Make a new Administrator-account with the name Peter. (If the old one is
"Peter" rename it).

Log on with "Peter"

Copy everything from the old Admin-folders to the new "Peter"-folder in
c:\users\
Restart Vista - log in as "Peter" and if everythings work just as normal,
you can delete the old Admin User and the folders belonging to.
