Windows user name question -- can I change it?

My daughter opened my laptop and initialized it with her name thinking it was her Thinkpad that was delivered (we ordered at same time from different places). So, I was able to change the account name on the welcome screen and the start menu via the control panel. I also changed the password.
Here's the problem: In Windows Exporer, when I view the file structure for the C:\ drive, I still see my daughter's name as the primary user folder under: Computer / Windows7_OS (C / Users / DAUGHTER'S NAME / My Documents. So even though I changed the account name over to my name and changed the password, my daughter's name is still in the directory path to My Documents.
How can I fix this? If I delete this user and set up a new user will this mess up the computer? My sense is that bad things will happen as this was the name that the Thinkpad was initialized with.... Thanks!

Hi,
please follow instructions on this link
i would suggest you backup your data first,
to be safe.

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

To know windows user name and machine name

Is it possible to automatically populating windows user name and machine name in form field?
If so what should I do?

Hi,
You can, but it is considered a security risk by Adobe. Therefore you need to execute the script in a "trusted function". This is script in a JavaScript file that is stored in a set folder on the user's computer. This can make it difficult to maintain, as all users will need this .js file.
Also if you Reader Enable the form through Accrobat, then the script will fail.
See a thread here with examples: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2189021#2189021.

Get current logged in Windows user name

Hi
Is it possible to retrieve the current logged in Windows user name into a text field automatically?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Hi,
This is a security issue and you will need a javascript file in the Acrobat folder. This will contain a trusted function allowing access to the login name.
Here is a thread that looked at this:

However read to the end, because if you are Reader Enabling the form (at least through Acrobat) then you may run into problems.

Use the Settings app tO check what's in your email account information.

if your husbands name is there change it to your name.

Welcome to the Apple Community mwarbster.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Windows 7 User/Company Domain - Can't Change Background, Only Solid Colors

For about 10 months now, I have not been able to change my background to an image or theme successfully on my PC at work. When I try to make the change, it results in a solid color. Basically, I can only have solid color backgrounds. However, other co-workers
can log on with their account and have no issues. This led me to believe it was an issue with my account in active directory. No... I can log into another PC in the office and change the background just fine. Basically, it is a problem that only is occurring
on MY computer with MY user account. I have read things about people creating new users and then just switching over to that user, but I can not do that because it is a company domain that my user account is on.
I have read several forums for help on this but nothing works and my situation is slightly different. Does anybody know what the issue is or have a solution?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Please open control panel\Ease of Access Center\Make the computer easier to see, scroll down to the bottom, make sure to untick
Remove background images
If you haven't ticked this option, then
Copy and paste this to the search box in start button
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
In the window that opens, delete the TranscodedWallpaper file, then try to set a wallpaper normally again.

I have an old user name tht is no longer accessible. I access fierfox through a new user name. I have copied the profile from the old user name. Can I have 2 profiles from which to choose when using firefox in the under the new username?

I have a user name on my computer that was tied in with the domain name of the server at my workplace. I would access Firefox under this user name. I have now changed jobs, and for good and obvious reasons can no longer utilize my previous company associated username.
I have set up a new username on the same computer. When I access Firefox, all of my old bookmarks are gone, because Firefox does not recognize me under the new username as the same person. In the meantime, I have established new bookmarks under the new username.
I have copied my profile from Firefox under my old username. Can I have two profiles under my new username and pick which one I want to use at that time when accessing Firefox?
I am running Windows 7 Professional, with 4 gig ram, Intel i3 CPU, 2.13 GHz, 64 bit operating system, Firefox 7.0.1
Thank you

SEARCH results - shows file name. Can I change this?

I am using TCS2 in Windows XP.
In Robohelp when you search the online help, it brings back the search results but they are displayed under the filename heading. Can I change that? I don't necessarily want my filename displayed to users... maybe the Chapter name?
TIA
-Adriana

Hi--
I have no solution yet but am having very much the same problem, and would like to get in on this conversation while I continue experimenting. I'm working TCS2 (Frame 9 and Robo 8), linking the Frame book to Robo to create CSH. I'm a long-time Framer but a newbie to Robo and TCS2.
As far as I can tell from reading through the thread, I've got some kind of variation going: some of my CSH Search results show the heading, and some show the filename. I haven't yet discovered what is the difference in the Frame file, although I believe that's where I'll find it. It's consistent from search to search. (That is, if it a topic shows up in Search results as the filename once, it does so consistently. Ditto others showing up as the heading.)
In addition to hereby signaling moral support (!) and an interest in a solution, I'd like to provide my settings here and see how yours compare.
The marker I created to manage output CSH filenames is "FileName." I'm working with engineers who are not native English speakers and have never implemented CSH. For the 30 or so (out of 75) topics that actually are going to be linked from the application, I created FileName marker text that starts with "LinkTo_<menupath>." (Example: "LinkTo_WebSecurity_ServerSecurityGroups_Adding.") The idea is to help them see what to link up where. (It also made editing map IDs faster: I just select and automap any topic name starting with LinkTo_.)
So I'm getting Search results that look like this:
Things to know about xyz
text text text...
LinkTo_Statistics_Events
text text text...
My "File > Project Settings > Edit conversion settings... > Other" settings are:
Context Sensitive Help Marker: blank
Topic Name Pattern: grayed out but is "(Default)"
Topic Name Marker: FileName
Not sure this is optimum. (As I said, a Robo newbie.) Also, my chapter titles and H1 thru H3 are set up to paginate, although I realized later that filling Topic Name Marker field disables pagination.
Thanks, will keep working on it --

Windows 7 RC - I can't change my network from public to work

After a lot of job, I connected my W7 beta PC with my XP PC, but when I upgrade to W7 RC, I am unable to do this.
I have two net adapters: one linked to the internet cable modem and it is OK (public network). The other linked with a switch but W7 assigned this as unknown public network and I can't change it to home or work network. In W7 beta I assign a work network and it worked.
Thanks.

SOLUTION :
WINDOWS 7 WILL AUTOMATICALLY TAG THE CONNECTION AS UNDEFINED NETWORK WHEN IT IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE TYPE OF THE CONNECTION AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE NAME AND TYPE OF THE NETWORK
The possible reasons are :
a. You are connecting to a network with TCP/IP configuration to automatic but the network doesn't have a DHCP server;
b. You configured the TCP/IP manually with static values but didn't specify a Default Gateway;
The possibles solutions are :
a. you are using dynamic IP, so you have to set up a software DHCP server on the 2nd subnet
b. you are using static IP, so set up a default gateway on the 2nd subnet NIC
( Source : http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/4416-how-change-network-type-2.html )
Hope this helps ^^
This solution works -- but unfortunately it requires the other network adapter to be on DHCP. If you want two adapters with fixed IP, you get messages that having two default gateways "does not work properly". I tried it anyway -- this resulted in an unreachable internet via router. This all is in Win 7 RC, I will try it on a RTM (Ultimate) in a few moments, but I'm not expecting an improvement.
There is one thing you can do to ignore the problem without most of the negative aspects: turn off the firewall for your "private" network adapter. I don't see much danger here as that's roughly what would happen anyway if you could set it to private.
Having one line set to DHCP (to the router) and the other to use fixed IP will also not be without side effects. Suppose the DHCP line is only 100 Mb, while the internal net uses 1Gb. This will result in all network trafic using a computer name to pass via the 100 Mb line, which is probably not what you wanted. Maybe you could remedy that with a route command; but I have not succeeded in a non-temporary solution to this as the routes are not kept across reboots -- any help welcome.
Getting a DHCP server into this business will also not solve the problem, because then this computer needs to be online all the time, which is not what I would want. If your router (like mine) provides DHCP, you also get problems, because having two DHCPs will usually get you into trouble (this I read from other posts, never did it myself.)
Whoever is responsible for this mess at Microsoft should either provide a very good explanation or preferably fix it as fast as possible.
Maybe I don't understand you, but, if I have a router I don't need to use two adapters, I simply use the router as server and connect all of my computers to it.

User Name Question

In Web Console, under Reports | Systems | By Machine/Login Name, there is
information under the headings of Machine Name, Login Name, User Name, etc.
Under User Name, some workstations show a real name such as Jones, Bobby
or Smith, Mary. Some workstations show the Machine Name + MAC Address,
which is how ZENworks is setup to import workstations.
Why is there a difference? The real name is the preferred information.
What adjustment do I need to make?
