    Changing Names:

    Hello Everyone:

    I would like to know if and how I can change a user name in MS XP, Under Documents and Settings. When I try to change it I keep getting a message that says I can’t change it. Any Ideas?

    Thanks

    Art W.

    No local user or group

    Hello Everyone:

    I followed Cid's directions, but could not find the locl user and groups.

    Any other ideas?
