[QUOTE="Matthew M., post: 513891, member: 17160"] Thanks for the information, although I think we're on two different tracks here. The short name, the one next to the house icon, is the one that somehow has my e-mail address on it and that's what I wish I could change. My actual computer name is fine. Since changing the short name is an apparently dangerous thing to do, and since I haven't really added much stuff to my machine, would it be best to just re-install Leopard again? I did an Erase An Install operation today, so I do have a bootable clone of my old Tiger system on my external HD. LOL, I realize how anal this sounds, but it just bugs the heck out of me looking at my e-mail address next to that house icon. I guess my OCD strikes again! [/QUOTE]
