Is "STATION1000" the name of your computer? If so, then your original
user profile was corrupt and Windows created the new one. If your
computer is really clean (see link below to determine this), then
either create a new user account for yourself or just use the
oem.STATION1000 one. You can copy your data from your old user account
to the new one. I don't suggest copying settings from a corrupted user
account to a new one.
