System Preferences>Accounts

I believe you can change the name but not the short name. You could create a new account with admin privledges then log in and delete your brothers old account; or just do a reinstall.

Edit: Ah! Your right Hobbes what was I thinking I thought he was talking about his logon and home folder name.

Thanks sadly i did not read Hobbes in time and i reinstalled then i screwed up (it was 4 am) and had to reinstall again but thank you and my ibook is great!

Ah again!

Sorry to hear that MacRevolution. Probably best to start with a clean system folder though anyway. Enjoy your Mac!
