Smile Changing my name in my computer

I loaded Windows 98 onto my Dell Dimension XPS D233 computer. When the window came up and asked me to identify myself to the computer, I misspelled my name !!!

Now that Win98SE is installed, how do I go about correcting the spelling of my name? Especially, where it says:

Log Off Grge Kraemer

(It's supposed to be George Kremer.)

Please help !!!

I believe that on Win98 that was found by right clicking Network Neighborhood then click on properties and IF I remember correctly there will be a tab labeled identification... Go there I believe to change your name....

I use the following free utility to do that task. Some anti-virus programs will block the running of the file but give it a try, it's clean.
