    Remove User Name from Registry

    I bought a computer off the shelf at Frys with Vista Home Premium. Now Frys
    name keeps popping up and I want to know how to remove it permenatly. I
    opened the Registry where I found it under C:\Users\frys\AppData\Local\Temp.
    I have saved the Registry by exporting it to a second drive. Now, what is the
    best way to remove frys or replace it with my name?

    Thanks.

    Use User Accounts in control panel to create two new admin users with the
    names you prefer, copy the frys profile over to one user, and then delete
    the frys and other user account.
    You must log on as the extra new user to 'copy to' from frys to the new
    account

    start orb, type sysdm.cpl
    advanced tab/User accounts - Settings button

    Hi King Fish,

    In addition to Mark's post, you might check this area afterwards to
    make sure Frys did not have a Registered Name and Organization
    information set on your computer to.

    Almost everything is allowed and that must really bother you. Too bad,
    pal, because you can't do anything about it.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    You haven't had an original though in your entire mental institution
    escapee life. You're an admitted liar and mental escapee, a spammer, a
    troll, and a bigoted atheist as*hole lying linux loser.
