I was wondering if you guys enter your full name when asks you to type in your name when doing a clean install of xp? I just get an eerie feeling about it. What should i do?

I don't recall if xp does this but based on the name you give it, it automatically creates a user account with that name. It doesn't tell you that either I believe. And this sucks because once you choose a user name you're pretty much stuck with it and changing it can cause problems and confusion.

you could take 15 seconds and go into the user manager to create a new user account and once logged in delete the previous.

I was thinking about most of the poeople out there that did not know their user account name is locked forever once you set it. It would also be nice for windows to tell you when you're creating an account. I'll give microsoft another couple of years before it dies.
