Hawk, unfortunately, this doesn't work as this will not let me change the name. When I set up XP I didn't fill in a name so by default I am administrator.
First click on create a new account. Make it an adminisration account with your name. Then after that is set up you can delete the admin account without the name. You always have to have an admin account active or it won't let you change the one.
Vers, I think that will work too. But, thats why I told him to make a new admin account with his name and then delete the old admin account that doesn't have a name.

Sometimes, I even forget where certain things are, and have to ask our fellow members for direction.
Can I not change the name i the registry?
One way you can rename the admin account is through the local security policy.
Click Start -> Run.
Type in the run box gpedit.msc
Expand Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
Double-click on Accounts: Rename administrator account
Type in the name of the admin account, click OK and restart your PC.
Thanx again
