As it says. My Login name is in the upper right corner next to find. How if at all do I get rid of it?:confused: I am not a computer genius so break it down barney style for me please.
 
1) Click on your name in the upper right corner and select "Users and Groups Preferences..." from the menu that drops down
2) On the screen that opens, click on Login Options at the bottom of the list on the left hand side (with a house next to it)
3) If the writing that appears on the right hand side is grayed out, click on the padlock at the bottom that says "click the lock to make changes" and enter an administrator's user name and password (if you're the only user, or are an admin user then just enter your password). If they're not, then skip to step 4
4) Click the checkbox next to "show fast user switching menu as" on the right hand side

You should now no longer see your name showing
 
Awesome, thanks guys. I looked there probably eight time but must have just skipped over that option every time I looked at it.
