Today, the following was done by the tech at the computer store (w/o
backup!): [MS] How to Change Name and Company Information After You
Install Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=310441
<http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=310441> This changed
the "end-user license agreement from: "X X X X" to "Y Y Y Y" as desired,
but... ; "C:/Documents and Settings/X X X X/..."; is still "X X X X".
(Folder inclusive.) (1) Back to the original question, can
";C:/Documents and Settings/X X X X/..."; be changed "without reloading
the OS? (2) If I do have to reload the OS, will I lose everything I've
set-up on the new computer for the last 2-1/2 weeks? Or, can it be saved
and reloaded/reinstalled/imported... afterwards? How? Nolte: Please
excuse me if any have previously answered this completely including the
above questions. I haven't had the opportunity to read through
everything yet. Just refer me to your original post please. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. ; (PREVIOUS POST WITH CORRECTIONS) Finally bought
a new computer (SONY VAIO VGN-FE550G; MS WIN XP Media Center, Version
5.1, Build 2600.xpsp.50622-1524: Service Pack 2). Yey! ; But... for
whatever unconscious reason at the time, I let the computer store do the
initial new user set-up. The tech didn't ask and just did what he did
(outside of store's policy). So what I have is what I don't want, my
OS named not with my preference. It may mean nothing to anyone else, but
I have my reasons, so... ; I'd like to know if there is anyway around
not having to reload the OS to rename with my preference. Example:
"This product is licensed under the terms of the end-user license
agreement to: "X X X X"; "C:/Documents and Settings/X X X X/..."; I
want it to read: "This product is licensed under the terms of the
end-user license agreement to: "Y Y Y Y"; "C:/Documents and Settings/Y Y
Y Y/... ; If I have to reload the OS, SONY is not generous enough to
include the CD's. How much of a hassle will this be for me to go through
this process? Would I need to reload Office too? I've been up & running
about 2-1/2 wks. ; Thanks!
