File name for "user"

[plymouthguy]

I just reformatted my Dell 8600. I ended up with the user name in Documents
and Settings/User) as "owner". I have reformatted several times in the past
and had never seen this. Usually my name shows up as the file name. It's
not a big deal but I would prefer to see my name there (vice owner). User
Accounts shows my actual name and shows me as administrator. Your help
would be appreciated.

[[The Owner account may not be removed correctly when you run Setup on
computers that are running Windows XP Home Edition. The Owner account is
displayed as "Account Unknown" when you view profiles on the computer.
Also, the Owner folder is not removed because the profile is not removed.
Note that other problems occur if an Owner account is used or created
during the remainder of setup or Out of Box Experience (OOBE).]]

[[This problem does not occur on Microsoft Windows XP Professional-based
computers because the Administrator account is used during Setup. This
problem also does not occur on Windows XP Home Edition-based computers if
you do not use the Owner name as the default user. The OOBE deletes the
Owner account before completing the procedure after you install the fix from
this article.

NOTE: Existing data in the Owner folder from the Owner and the Administrator
is copied to the Default User folder before it is deleted.]]
