Ok I recently purchaced a new(to me atleast) laptop. When I bought it I reformatted it quickly so I could start using it. In my haste I put the owner/default user name as "Owner". I didn't mind at the time as I was just trying to get it running. Well time went on and I decided to change the "Owner" name to something else. I renammed the account through the user manager but, the documents folder and all the processes under the task manager still have the name "Owner" and not the new user name. I had this happen before on another pc but I could not fix it so I reformatted it. Is there a way for me to correct this with out starting all over again? It was such a pain to get this thing running smooth I want to avoid a reformat if I can.

If I sound crazy or something, I can get some screen shots.
 
Well, one possibility would be to create a new user with the name you want, then transfer all the files from 'Owner' over to the new user, and delete 'Owner.'

Not ideal I know, but a possibility.
 
Hmm... the name was already changed there. I tried changing it back to Owner and back to my name, restarting after every time. Still no luck.
 
Best/easiest way is to create a new user account with the correct name, then copy your files over to it
