The renaming of the account seems to be reflected *almost* everywhere in Windows but here, in the runas GUI dialog box.  Can anyone guess how to change it?  It's not the end of the world: I can always change it by hand each time, or do runas from a text console, but it's a nuisance.

As a first step, assuming that this value is stored as an SID, can anyone tell me how I find out which SID is associated with which account name?  If I knew that, maybe I could find the incorrect registry entry.

Thanks.
David.
