Windows XP Network >> Documents and Settings Name Hello All,
I just purchased a used laptop. It came with the OS installed, but it has
the last registered owner's name at the 'Documents and Settings' folder. Is
there any way I can change that without a complete re-install?
Thanks.

Surely it is a subfolder of Documents and Settings.
Removing the user should do the trick.
Doing a reinstall is like using a pile driver to crack a pecan.
