Here you can set some nifty things ex.: automatic logon (if not using Tweak UI), and you can change the actual account name. However, it is possible to show this by running: 'control userpasswords2'. The User Accounts in CP comes in a different flavour if the PC is joined to a domain, but that is not the case for your XP Home. In Home and Pro, User Accounts only changes the Full name not the actual account name. In most cases everyone has the same name on Full name and actual account name, but the Full name can easily be changed in User Accounts tool in CP to show something nice on Welcome screen. The Actual account name is used as name for the profile folder and internally in Windows (listed in Task Manager), sometimes in commands etc. The Full name is used on the Welcome screen, Start menu, in User Accounts tool etc.
