User Profiles

When I first powered up my new Dell Inspiron 1420, it asks for a user name.
It stores it as the administrator user name. I changed it under user
profiles, but when I go to "user accounts" and click on the "configure
advanced user profile" tab on the left, it shows the original name I had
entered upon startup. Is there a way to change it to what I want it to be?

You'll first need to enable the "hidden" administrator account in
Vista:

To enable the build-in Administrator account, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then
click Run as Administrator.
3. When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
4. At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes, and
then press ENTER.
5. Type net user administrator <Password>, and then press ENTER.
Note: Please replace the <Password> tag with your passwords which you
want to set to administrator account.
6. Type exit, and then press ENTER.
7. Log off the current user account.

Once created, log into the administrator account and follow the prompts
to change the name of a user account. If you need the steps to do this
just let me know and I'll post that as well.

Snippets of this are from the Microsoft support site.
