i was just wondering if anyone knows how to change the names of the users under documents and settings within windows explorer. i want to sell my comp but i don't necessarily want people to know who i am. i want to change my name to something like unknown. when i try to change it, i get cannot delete or rename because its a system folder. i can change it in safe mode but when i reboot, i get an error and everything is missing ie e-mail, settings, icons etc. i dont want to reformat because i have tons of (free) progs i want to include with the comp and don't really remember the links to about half of them. is there an easy way to do it that anyone knows about?
P.S. im talking about windows xp pro and yes, it is a legal copy. call me crazy but i want to delete any info about myself thats stored on this comp before i sell it. also, if anyone has any other suggestions about info that should be deleted ,like e-mail accounts etc, i would gladly accept them. thanx in advance.
