User Account

[ericf10]

I changed the original administrator user account. However, there are still
references on a command line, some folders and in Remote Desktop of the
former user name. I already modified the registered owner in the registry by
modifying HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\RegisteredOwner.
What else do I need to do to rid myself of this old user?

If I create a new admin account and then delete the old one, what is the best
way to save all the settings and then back them up to the new user? If I
copy all my favorites and desktop to the new user prior to deleting and then
restore the files from the deleted account, will the new user have the same
look as the old one?

you might try:

Open Control Panel
Open Administrative Tools
Open Local Security Policy
Under Local Policies on the left, select User Rights Assignment
On the right, one of the items you'll find is "Shut down the system".
Double-click on that.
From here you can add or remove groups or individual users who will then be
able to shut the system down. If you would like to make it so that only
Administrators can shut the system down, then remove all other groups or
users...

Hopefully that's what you meant by your question... I wasn't quite certain.
Cheers,
Chris
