OK:  I have a GOOD question for you - When I have a screen that looks like THIS

How does one EDIT a User Name in Windows with SPACE (Brian Baker) like in the Picture: Had to do this because my Credential Manager was asking me for a password for access to the stored passwords there, and I never set the "Brian Baker" account with a password, and it was serviced by my technician in May 2016 after a hardware failure: I was able to use the control Panel to set the password which never existed, and get that done, but if I need to do that through Command Prompt, I will have problems:

I do a "net user" on my username, and it will complain - do you have to use "net user Brian\Baker" to get this to work?

Just curious?
