Hello!
I'm setting up w8.1 for the first time. I find that user accounts are not as easy as W7. Iset the first user account to the user name my son uses for email he wanted it changed to his name so I changed it. Now when he logs on it is to his name, however, the email user name still appears in the upper right side of the page. So I went to C:\users and found that the only user folder present was the one with his email user name. It seem that only the log in page has his name and that is only an alias for the true account, his email user name.
What I was thinking is to create another account with his name with admin privileges and then delete the account with his email user name. Then there would be only one account.
If I had not done other setup tasks. I would go back, again, to factory settings and start over.
What I eventually want is only one user account with his name and password with automatic log on.
