I have a computer that was bought second-hand that has a legitimate Windows
XP Home Edition on it. However, although I've reset the logon for myself and
wiped the HD, it is still putting stuff in c:\documents and settings\Suzanne
Milliken which is the name of the original owner... can I change this, or
will it *** up all the settings that depend on it?
Also, now that I own the computer, am I considered the legitimate owner of
the XP license or do I have to purchase a separate license of some sort to
make it "mine", as it were? If this helps, have no trouble downloading all
the necessary updates for the computer...
Thanks in advance!
C.
