I purchased an "open box" PC from a discount store. My problem is that I cannot get rid of the original puchaser's account. I deleted the user but it still appears in the account profiles. Attempting to delete this user in "Documents and Settings" produces a message that it is a system file and cannot be deleted. When the logon screen appears it defaults to this person. Everything on the PC runs okay but seeing this other person is extremely annoying. Is there anyway to change this without doing a complete restore from the provided CD's? Running XP Home Edition.
