Wrong Spelling?

[cottonlane]

When I installed Windows7, I must have spelt my Name wrong in the set-up process. And Now everything is coming with that Spelling mistake. Have deleted User Account but nothing happens, it is still there. It must be in the reg or a file in the OS does anyone know how to sort this out without having to reinstall Windows? Thanks in Advance, Shaun....

It must be in the reg

Most probably. Have you searched for your misspelled name there yet?

Also, if you said where exactly that name appears, you'd get more precise help.

Yes I'm Sorry about that, It's My Documents Library and other personal stuff. Just installed a program that Displays My Name on the welcome Page But It Is Spelled Wrong But I don't Know How to Correct It, Or Where to Begin Looking Hope You Can Help? Where Would the original information That I gave to Windows At the installation Stage Be Kept and How Can I Change It?

Try to change the name inside the registry or use a reg file suiting your needs:

RegisteredOwner.reg (example)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"CurrentVersion"="6.1"
"CurrentBuild"="7601"
"SoftwareType"="System"
"CurrentType"="Multiprocessor Free"
"InstallDate"=
"RegisteredOrganization"="customer"
"RegisteredOwner"="Misspelled"
"SystemRoot"="C:\\Windows"
"InstallationType"="Client"
"EditionID"="Ultimate"
"ProductName"="Windows 7 Ultimate"
"ProductId"="XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXXXXX"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUserName"="myselfidem"
