Andrew, this is a 4-year old post (almost). I have no idea if the method described here still works.

I had a different user accounts (different usernames) on 2 different XP machines. I had Picasa on the first machine so here is what I did on the second machine to get the user name the same without losing all my settings:

1) Create a new user on the second machine with the same name as the first machine

2) Create a temporary user on the second machine

3) Log in to both new user accounts to initialize them, the same named account first then the temporary account

4) From the temporary account, right click “My computer > Properties > Advanced tab > User Profile settings

5) Select the original account and click “Copy To”

6) Browsed to “C:Douments and settings\NewName” and clicked ok

7) Log in as the newly named account and deleted the original account and the temporary account

I hope that helps!

You must first save your changes in Picasa. Only then the changes will affect images. Then you can send changed images to your friends. Without saving Picasa stores information about processing into special ini file and processes photos while displaying them, so you’ll see your changes only in Picasa as long as you don’t save them.

I needed to flip and edit a large # of very old 35mm slide pics. (Korean Army duty). I have trouble always getting a good SAVE on my edits; also I highlighted the whole set (143 pics) to send to some Korean Vets & found them to be sent flipped back to their original status. I’m certain it must be my misunderstanding of Picasa features. Pls advise.
Thanks
