Hello Guys,

I bought a reliable second hand computer with XP preinstal for my daughter and I was just wandering if there is a possibility to change the Adminstrator user account name(in my document anf folder name) ? Or otherwise instal a fresh copy of window?

Can you not just change it in "User Accounts"?

Personally I would be tempted with a fresh install with a 2nd hand computer, regardless. Provided you have all the utilities to do so. i.e. installation CD, drivers etc...
