Create And Change Password, Picture And User Name In Windows 7
In Windows 7, the logon screen usually contains a picture that you choose when setting up the computer and a default user name
. Since I purchased my computer from Best Buy, the picture was already set and the user name was simply User.Not very unique! The first thing I did when I got my computer was to change the user name and change my user picture. That is what I'll explain in this article.
