Actually, I agree that it was quite handy NOT having to import each of
five accounts back into Juno, as was the case when I had to reformat my
HD earlier this year.  

I used to use Clean Sweep, but haven't gotten around to re-installing it
since the reformat.

Frankly, I was just curious about how those account names remained, and
learning that they were stored in the C:\Windows\Juno.ini made it all
make sense.
