After renaming user account, old name still appears in Welcome login screen

by dm4w . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

After I renamed a secondary administrator account on a WinXP Home machine – (using Control Panel-User Accounts), the old user account name still appears in the Welcome/login screen when booting up every time.

The new account name (if entered it instead of the old account name) will allow you to log-on using the same password, but the old account name always appears in the user menu on the login window. (BTW – you can still log-on using the old account name also – using the same password)

How can I resolve this so that the old account name goes away, and the new account name always appears in the login window?

Thanks for any feedback….
