Hmmm ... could be just a glitch or it could be something nasty going on.
What about -
Right click the Taskbar and choose Task Manager.
Click the Processes tab.
At the bottom left hand of the window put a mark next to 'Show processes from all users'
Under the 'User Name' column see if User is listed, the correct name for the User is listed, or are they both listed ?

Mo,.
The answer to your previous post is yes. I do see the name “User” instead of “E41” (E41 is the actual log-in name) for several processes. (I am logged in as E41)
As to your second post, when I do A LOG-OFF it states “E41 is logged on as (Computer name)\user”
When I do the same on a different computer it states “You are logged on as (Computer name)\RES41”
Why the difference from the computer that works correctly (“You are logged…”) compared to the one I’m having problems with (“E41 is logged…”)
Thanks

In addition, with Task Manager open, click Shut Down on the menu bar at the top and see what name is listed for ' Log Off _____'

Mo,
No, if I were to go ahead and log in as “user” I can look at the User Accounts and see the correct name(not "user"): as if I were properly logged in. Basically the only place I can see “user” is in the log-in screen. There is no “user” account.
The only thing I see in Scheduled Tasks is “Add Scheduled Tasks”

AL,
When you change the name of the only User account via User Accounts in the Control Panel it changes back to User ?
Are there any Scheduled Tasks set up to run under User ?
In Control Panel open Scheduled Tasks to see if that's the case.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me why logging into windows XP SP2 the user name comes up as "user" instead of the actual name used/placed into the user account (only one user called XXX on this computer)? It’s not hard to change, but it is annoying to have to change it when there is no "user" account. In this environment "user" will work though. I work for a city fire department which requires our engine computer to be properly logged on for our communications to work.
