   I just bought a new Acer laptop with MCE. During the setup it asks for your name and being so unused to a laptop keyboard, I spelled my name wrong. Is there anyway for me to change it without having to reload the OS?
   
   any help would be appreciated
   
   
   thanks

   As MCE is based on XP you should be able to use the below method
   
   Click Start -> Control Panel > User Accounts
   Click the account, and then click 'Change my name'
