Earler this year my girlfriend purchased a Toshiba laptop running Vista. The motherboard failed within a week and since she was busy I was the one who took it into tech support for replacement. Unfortunately they reinstalled Vista with my name instead of hers.
I changed the admin account name in the control panel to hers, changed the computer name in control panel, and used regedit to change the registered owner as well, but my name still crops up. Whenever you open the task manager I'm listed as the "user name" in the processes listing and the user listing. And at the command prompt the default directory structure is C:\Users\Robert.
I've searched around and have been unable to find a solution - does one exist aside from completely reinstalling Vista?
