Windows 10: Masking Windows 10 Owner Name?

When I first set up my computer, my friend thought it would be funny to name the computer 'Mayor of Poopton'. He was right. But now I'm in grad school, and all of my documents have the owner name as 'Mayor of Poopton'. Not a good look for me professionally.

Is there any way to mask or relabel the owner? Id' prefer not to set up a new local profile because of how heavily customized my current profile is.

Thanks in advance!

Old Owner Name

I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

Can anyone suggest another place to look?

Thanks.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
