Change windows username (ComputerName/Username

[jettj12]

I set up my computer a long time ago with a stupid username, and I wanna know how to change it. I can change my logon username, but not the actual username (COMPUTERNAME/Username) or the user directory (C:/Users/USERNAME).

Thank you for responding, but that's the computer name. I want to change the actual username, like when you connect to the pc using rdp and you enter the computer name, a slash, then your username. I want to change the username. Let me underline what i want to change

\\Steven-PC\(insert embarassing username here)

OK, Have a look at this thread, I believe you'll need to create a new user account if I understand what you're trying to do, post # 4 specifically.
