What username am I supposed to log into on my computer?
Depending on what you need to do with your machine there are several different options for logging into Windows XP:
Laptop Computer
USERNAME:
Normally, log in using your username. Be sure that the computername (This Computer) domain is selected.
LOCALMGR:
Log in to your computer using the localmgr user account if you need to install software or a printer. This account has administrative rights by default. This account ONLY exists on your computer. Therefore, you MUST have your computer selected in the login window (the selection in the pull-down menu will say computername (This Computer)).
You should never have to log into the ROSE-HULMAN.EDU domain.
