Documents and Settings Name
Hello All,
I just purchased a used laptop. It came with the OS installed, but it has the last registered owner's name at the 'Documents and Settings' folder. Is there any way I can change that without a complete re-install? Thanks. Phil

Removing the user should do the trick. Doing a reinstall is like using a pile driver to crack a pecan. Jim
