Re-installing programs to the wrong user account

[pjbruce]

Hi All,

Recently had an XP crash due to a bad Norton Ghost download. Have
re-installed a fresh copy of winxp on the same drive but trying to re-install
some of my other programs (notable adobe) the setup files keep trying to load
into my old user account e.g. C:\Documents and
settings\wronguseraccount\local settings\application data etc

I've removed all previous traces from the registry but realise there may be
some hidden files.

Anyone with ideas?

Thanks,

Pete
