The **User Accounts** panel will view or change user full names and change 
passwords. Actual user names are not shown in this panel and cannot be changed

the computer must be restarted. This panel may also be displayed by right-clicking
**My Computer** and choosing **Properties**.

the Windows 2000 user account management control. Here one can view user account names
