Once upon a time I owned a Dell 550 MHz PC running Windows XP Pro SP2.
Recently, I sold this PC to a friend of mine. In the process of removing my
name, Peter A. Sale (aka, Peter Sale) from every place that it appears in
this PC, and replacing it with my friend's name, Dave, I have run into two
final occurrences of my name (I hope these are the last occurrences).
Since this was my PC, I set up my Windows XP user account (administrator)
with my name, Peter A. Sale. Later, I attempted to change my user account
name from Peter A. Sale to just Peter. Now I have two directories-
Documents and Settings|Peter A. Sale and Documents and Settings|Peter- that
I want to "safely" remove from Dave's PC. I just checked, and there are
four User Accounts currently defined on this PC- Dave Hopkins (admin), Temp
(admin), ASP.NET (limited) and Guest (acct is off).
So my questions are as follows:
1. How can I completely and "safely" remove directories
Documents and Settings|Peter A. Sale
and
Documents and Settings|Peter
replacing them with, say Dave?
2. Given the four User Accounts on this PC, why do the directories
Documents and Settings|Peter A. Sale
and
Documents and Settings|Peter
even exist?
