water Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 @Username gives you the "ID of the currently logged on user". Has the ID changed (that's what you use when userid/password is requested for login)?

Mikeman27294 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Also, you will notice that under the users folder in the root directory (C:), you will notice that your user's file is your old username. As I understand it, your username isn't changed, it just displays different text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
