Are you certain that you are talking about the computer name and not the
user name? I do not believe the computer name will show up anywhere in the
menus. Type "Network" into the Start menu search box to get a list of
computers and devices on your network.
To change your network name or workgroup name, press the Windows key + the
Break key (the last key on the right end of the function keys), to bring up
the System Control Panel. Hit Tab until you get to a button labeled
"Change", and press Space. Press Tab to the "Change Name" or something
similar button. In this dialog and press Space. It will now allow you to
change the computer name and workgroup name. As you press the Ok button, it
will ask you to restart.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] changing computer name
Hi,
I have a question.
I recently purchased a new laptop with windows seven
professional and I made a mistake which I don't know how to undo/change.
There was an area where I typed the name of the computer which I typed my
name but made a typo. Is there a way I can fix this?
My name shows correctly on the start menu, and the welcome screen but not
in
the user folder in the local drive.
