    I was given a computer, administrator died, in Start Menu Properties the deceased asdministors name is as follows C:\Documents and Settings\Administrators Name\My Documents. This also applies to exe files.Can I delete these? or do I have to change them, some may be operating files that cannot be deleted.

    Deceased Administrators name in Start Menu Properties

    Pete C, thank you for reply, however I have already changed the Administrators name to mine and added another. I still get the previous Administrators name attached to files as previously described. for example, C:\Documents and settings\ deceased administrators name\ My Documents, and so on. although I am the current Administrator, With your help I managed to get the 'Authors' name sorted out, now I have to get the deceased administrator some rest, I am sure he is fed-up with having to pop out of the box.
