I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP ME. I JUST RECEIVED A LAPTOP COMPUTER "IBOOK". I GOT IT FROM MY UNCLE AS A GIFT. MY QUESTION IS THIS HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I TAKE HIS NAME OUT OF NOW MY COMPUTER. EVERYTHING LIKE E-MAIL AND THE GENERAL SYSTEM HAS HIS NAME IN IT? I WANT TO SET THE COMPUTER TO MY NAME AND E-MAIL. WHEN I LOG INTO THE COMPUTER AT START UP I PUT MY NAME AND USER LOG IN NAME AND IT WORKS. AT THAT SAME SCREEN (LOG-IN) JUST ABOVE WHERE I PUT MY NAME IS MY UNCLES NAME AND IT SAYS THAT IT IS HIS COMPUTER.

DO I HAVE TO REDO SOMETHING? HE GAVE ME SOME DISK WITH THE COMPUTER. I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE DISK WILL HELP ME OUT. I HAVEN'T TRIED THEM YET. I HAVE NEVER USED AN MACKS BEFORE AND IT IS VERY VERY DIFERENT. I HAVE ALWAYS USE A REGULAR PC. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP ME SOON. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

Right click my computer and click on properties then go to the identificaiton tab and chang the computer name for e-mail you would have to go to control panel and go to users go to users tab in the control panel and delete his name.
