    Username "New user" After Installing


    Well basically I never changed my username while installing a new copy of Windows 7 I got with a new PC. Its stuck as "New User"



    I've tried searching but found nothing to change that part of it, Its really no Big deal but its a bit Frustrating not knowing how to change it

    Any help is appreciated greatly,

    Thanks.

    Hello GavoTrab, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You could create a new administrator account with the name you wanted, create a password for it, log off the "New User" account, log on to the newly created one, then delete the "New User" account.

    You could also do this below, but the above would be much easier.

    User Profile Folder - Change User Account Folder Name

    Hope this helps, :)
