User Accounts info needed

G

Greg

I'm trying to figure out where to find more information about user
accounts that is not listed in the Control Panel: Admin Tools: User
Accounts. The info I'm looking for is the account name that I see when
I access the computer over the network. On my computer, this is
different than the login name listed in User Accounts.

What happened was, that I upgraded from Win98 to WinXP Home. When I
created my first user account with "New Name" it assigned the "Old
Name" that was associated with Win98 to that account. That's what I see
when I look at the computer over the network. And when I created my
second user account with the login name of "Old Name" what I see over
the network is "Old Name_2". So I'm trying to figure out where these
underlying names are stored. It's not in User Accounts, which shows
only the login name that I used to create the accounts.

I'm having a similar problem. I only have one account on my computer which
is under my name, but in places like the task manager, the user name comes
up as "enduser", which was the original user name put in by the guys at the
factory. I want to fix this.
