Change ownership - Vista Business edition
I'm running Vista Business edition on a laptop I just purchased secondhand. When I start up I have two option to start as - I think is is "Account Controller" (I think this is the same as administrator) or as "User". User, is the name that I think the previous owner changed the original user name to when he deleted all files etc off the laptop, I say this because if I go to the command prompt is opens as C:\users\mike_d - even though I am logged in as "user". In Explorer, documents and setting \ users there isn't a name 'user', just a folder mike_d however in the admincentre there is only the listed user....who is user! (I hope you're keeping pace!). User and mike_d are the same, it's the same account because if I save a favourite webiste it appears in my (i.e. user) settings and if I open explorer and work my way to mike_d's folder it's in there too. How do I get rid of mike_d? when his account is not listed in the admin control. I can't delect the mike_d folder or change it's name -- Ron |
