renaming locked user folder

Question

I have just set up windows 7 but the first user name was misstyped. When I try to rename the file has a lock icon and I cannot change the name. How do I do it?

Answer 1

Use Control Panel as Administrator to delete that user.

Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts - Accounts Manage User Account

It should delete its profile also.

Answer 2

Just delete the User, what sort of answer is that (what if you have loads of data in that profile) - what Microsoft need to remember is that people's machines are there's & not Microsoft? Stop making things that aren't user friendly, the guy said he made a simple mistake (typo) - your answer stank (utterly useless). :-(

Answer 3

Your graphics card should detect HDMI TV resolution automaticly. Mine did.

Answer 4

Thanks, I set up a new administrator and rebooted as this. I could then delate the origional administrator account.

Now for the next problem. The bios boot screen and then desktop is too big for my HDMI TV. Does anyone know how I can wind down the screen driver in the bios (AMI bios on Asus P5E-VM HDMI with buit in graphics)?
