[QUOTE="MartinS, post: 290295, member: 22279"] The only way to change the shortname is to create a new account. Why not give the old name admin capabilities, and use the new account for day-to-day use? If you make sure ownership and permissions in Get Info is set to the admin account, the Mac will ask you every time some change is made, adding a level of security. [/QUOTE]
