Second problem with computer received from another
person. Computer is HP 8570c running XP Pro. However,
computer is registered to previous owner's name. His name
carries through to a number of installations in the
computer, for example, it says "John Smith"s
Documents", "John Smith's Settings", etc. How do I change
from "John Smith" to my name without screwing up things,
and also, I assume I cannot change the original registry
name when he bought the computer. Thanks again. Ron
