How to change username of OSX?

[legaleye3000]

For some weird reason, whenever I install a new program, or when I open iChat, my buddy in my address book comes up as the "install name" or on top of the iChat window where MY name should be...

How do I change this...?

Thanks

Names in ichat are stored in Address Book.

User names are in System Preferences->Accounts

Or he could just change the display name in iChat.

In iChat itself: Preferences, Accounts, change the name.

In system prefs>>accounts, MY name is there... but lets say I wanted to install Office 08. The part comes up asking me to register and my buddy's name is in there... This has happened with a few different programs including iChat.

Its like my buddy's name is the "default" name... But in sys prefs, MY name is there...

In Address Book, find the entry corresponding to your name, and then select Card->Make this my Card.
