Change your Windows account name to something useful

If you accidentally leave your computer somewhere, chances are it’s gone for good. Especially if whoever finds it doesn’t know who it belongs to. I’m not saying that everybody would return a computer they found if they could easily do so. But I am saying that you’ve got a better chance if you make it simple for the finder.

I have changed my Windows account name to my email address so that the first thing someone who switches on my computer sees is my picture and email address. Windows 7 doesn’t normally allow account names longer than 20 characters, but there’s a workaround:

1. Go to All Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management

2. In Computer Management, go to System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users

3. Change the “Full name” of your user account to your email address.

You’ve now changed the rather useless Windows account name to something useful - contact information in case you should be so unlucky as to lose your computer. Let’s hope it never has to be used *knock on wood*.
