Hi,
I recently got a new pc. It was the one the store was
using as a display. I would like to know if there's any
way to change the name of the registration. It's
registered to the manager of the store, and her name is
appearing everywhere. Example: C:/ Documents and
Settings/JOANNE WILLIAMS/My documents. Something like
that. I've changed the computer "name" but I have not
been able to find a way to get rid of her name. Is there
a way to do this? Also, the system is registered in her
name, and I want to change that as well....is that
possible?

You need to create your own account, then delete the
existing "JOANNE WILLIAMS" account.

Click to expand...

I just did all of that, and the registration name is
changed. But there's still a folder under documents and
settings called "Joanne Williams." When I try to remane
it, it says it's a system folder and cannot be renamed.
I'm so tired of everything having JOANNE WILLIAMS all over
it. What else can I do??
