Hi... using XP Home:

Is there a way to change the User name/ ID? We passed along my wife's
computer to our daughter... Changing computer name is easy, but it's all the
other stuff - all of the System things, I cannot seem to change, or am not
allowed to - at least by simply renaming them.

I'd also like to donate another PC that was my daughter's (before she got
her mom's..) - and before that one goes out into the public, I'd like to do
the same to that one as well.

Thank you.

Maybe this will do it.

Run the script on line 7. Right side.
 
Hi, Bud..

Great script- it got most but not all.. Under 'C', then Documents and
Settings, it still shows the old name.

Ideas? Thank you!
