computer owner
Hi--I recently bought a used HP dv6 laptop running Win 7 Pro. After some while i managed to change the owners name to mine but his name still appears in certain addresses and along side some folder names--c:/user/***/. [*** being his name].
What i would like to know is there anyway of completely removing this name from the system? Any help would be appreciated thanks |

Hi caissurfer
I've just gotten done reading numerous posts at that link I had given you, and now I'm sorry that I even gave you the link as others are reporting all sorts of problems. I do know that years ago I was given a computer that had been somebody else's, and I tried changing the name on it. I finally had to wind up reformatting it to get things right. |
