Changing short name in Advance Option in Account in Sistem preferences
Posted: Dec 12, 2007 12:51 PM 		 

What's happens if I change my short name in Advance option in the account menù? Apple put a warning in this page. I would like to change my short name and so the cartel where alla the files go.

Thanks in advance for answering.

You mean the Username. Not much there. That's not the short name. It takes quite a bit to change a short name, and it is seriously dangerous.

Thanks for answering. I mean the short name that it is described in the article.

I think that the best way it's to do an erasing install of Leopard
