one last windows question...



 Sorry guys, but I have one last windows vista issue I've run across. 
When I upgraded from windows XP, the login name for my account got 
foobared. My account name is adler, but if I enter in "adler" as the 
username it does not recognize me. Instead if I enter in "Stephen 
Adler", my official identity name, used when I created my account, it 
does recognize me.... I wanted to change this so that I can use adler, 
instead of Stephen Adler, but I can't figure out which buttons to click. 
I'd like to edit the /etc/passwd file, but I don't know what the 
equivalent file is under vista.... Any ideas? 

Thanks. Steve.
