That only accomplishes half of the job. The name of the user is also
stored in the file windows\system\user.exe. Many programs look there on
install and will use that name for thier own install. Makes it kind of
ugly if one has misspelled the name on the original Windows install. The
only way around that that I know of is to hex edit that particular
program. Simple if you understand anything about hex editing, totally
disastrous if you don't.             Tom Sandborn
