How do i change the name on my computer?

Question

My computer was previously owned by my brother in law who's name is Aaron. The username on my computer is still Aaron even though i have changed every thing that i can find to my name. When I bring up task manager it is still registered aaron, when i start up it is still aaron, and it's driving me nuts because my sister recently divorced this guy and he's done some S****y stuff to all of us. So how can i change my computers name to my name instead of his.

Answer 3

Click Start

Click Control Panel

Make Sure on the left column, it says Switch to catagory view, if not, then click on switch to classic view.

Now Double-Click on System

Click on the identification tab.

Now, get rid of this dudes name.

Now, back up your computer.

Go back into the control panel and click on users.

Make an account for everyone who uses this computer and make someone the 'Administrative Account'

Go on to the Administrative account and get into the user controls. Now delete all of the user accounts that you did not just create (like the one that you were just on). Make sure that you select 'Delete Files.'

That should do it. If you need me to explain anything, answer any more of your questions, or if you get stuck. Don't hesitate to e-mail me!
