My cousin has had her MB HD replaced and they have reinstalled SL - albeit not very well.

The repair wasnt done via Apple as its a 2007 machine .. anyway ..

Her username has been set as mymacbook - so thats what appears in her finder window ..

How do i change this to Becky's Macbook

Thanks!
 
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Name

Edit: Wait a minute, are you talking about the name of the home folder (the user short name), the name of the hard drive or the name of the computer?
 
the name of the home folder :)

ive renamed the HD that was easy - and i renamed her log on name - that was easy too lol
