Re: >> Converting a work computer to a home computer?



Why would he need safe mode? It isn't XP Home edition, it was ON A DOMAIN, it's XP Pro. He needs a NEW local account.

So, my last employer sold me my work computer when I got laid off, so
now I have a couple of questions. When I login to windows, I still have
to enter in my username and password and still need to login to the
domain that I used at work. Then I have to wait forever for the
computer to figure out that it isn't connected to the old domain
anymore, then it finallys logs me into windows. How can I get rid of
this domain on my computer and simply have it login into my computer as
an administrator? Thanks so much! Anything else that I need to change
to completely "divorce" myself from previous employer? Thanks so much.
