    User Name Changed but Log In Remains


    I'm using a Win 7 Home Prem SP1 x64 system.

    My Problem:
    I have changed my User Account Name, However I must still log in using my old User Account Name

    What I've done (more or less in-order):
    -Secure Logon - Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to log on
    -Log On with User Name and Password
    -Lock Computer Screen - Display User Information or Not ("Do not display user information")
    -Display Information About Previous Logons During User Logon in Vista and Windows 7 ("Display Logon Information")
    -Changed User name

    I realize that it may work if I undo the four changes but I don't want to undo and redo all of these steps. There must be an easier way.

    You should have created a new user account.

    In all other circumstances when you change your name, your login name changes as well.
