    Good day,

    I just did a fresh install of win Xp Pro (and most of my software) when I noticed the user name and computer names are reverse to what I intended.

    Can I rename the computer and user without reinstalling everything?

    Thanks guys

    Ok. Guess I'll read instructions before I ask questions.

    I managed to change my User name to what I wanted but still can't figure out if or how I can change the Main Computer name.

    So if you can help me out on that one I'd appreciate it.
