If the first & last name is what you have used when you first installed XP, you cannot change it. It is forever used as the default account until you wipe clean Windows & start all over again. This is by design.

You could create a new account using just your first or last name....or a nickname or anything you want. Once the new account's created, login with it and then logoff and log back in as the administrator and copy the old user account info over to the new one.

I appears that the latest version of magic jellybean keyfinder WILL allow you to change the ownership info. Find it here:

Did you try magic jelly bean? It is free and readily available.
I tried it but stopped short of actually changing the owner name, but it did appear it would work.
