How can I change the owner of an account. In Windows XP, I changed the user
name (from TT to JM for example) of an account with admin rights. The main
folder name of this account will not change. Everytime something is done on
the computer, it says that it was done by TT, not JM because TT is listed as
the owner of the account or profile. The name of the computer and owner of
the computer is not related to this- I already tried that. I tried to make a
new account for the new user (JM) and copy the files over and deleted the TT
account. When I logged on to the JM account it then asks that I reinstall a
bunch of software that TT installed. The other profiles on the computer work
fine without asking to reinstall software. The problems is that I need to
get any information that is TT off of the computer- including her folder
under the users area. I ended up restoring to before I deleted the profile,
because JM needed to access her information.
