Any way to change the User Name that shows up in the Network Logon
window ??

Have tried using regedit and searching for : user name, logon name,
registered owner name, network logon name, etc. Nothing returns.

thanks
ray

Log out, then log in with the desired user name

or:

Change the value of HLM\Network\Logon\username

I found the registry key by logging in with a unique user name and
then searching the registry for that name.
