%26quot;User%26quot; account (through Control Panel/User Accounts) isn%26#039;t correct but I just don%26#039;t know what the proper term is or how to change it. I know it can be changed because someone changed it once as a joke. He changed it back but he%26#039;s out of the picture now and I don%26#039;t know anyone else who knows enough about computers to help me.
Thanks for your help!|||Change your computer name
Computers on a network need unique names so they can identify and communicate with each other. It%26#039;s best to keep computer names short (fifteen characters or less) and easily recognizable.
We recommend that you use only Internet-standard characters in the computer name. The standard characters are the numbers 0 through 9, uppercase and lowercase letters from A through Z, and the hyphen (-) character. Computer names cannot consist entirely of numbers, nor can they contain spaces. The name also cannot contain special characters, such as the following:
%26lt; %26gt; ; : %26quot; * + = \ | ? ,
Note
Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require you to use a specific computer name so they can identify your computer and validate your account. If your ISP requires a specific computer name, don%26#039;t change the name they give you.
Click to open System.
Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
On the Computer Name tab, click Change.
Under Computer name, delete the old computer name, type a new computer name, and then click OK.
