Create and Change Password, Picture and User Name in Windows 7 by willking

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.

Change User Name in Windows 7

First, click on Start and then Control Panel. Then click on User Accounts and Family Safety.
