Hi Suzanne,
Yes the log-on that comes up when you first boot up. I did search for .pwl
files just now and deleted all that came up. And wahool! Now there is no
log-on! He will be so happy, because of his handicap typing is difficult.
He is partially paralyzed on one side and just had to have surgery on his
"good" side shoulder. So the easier I can make it for him the better it
will be.
And no, the former owner's name still comes up in Word, Excel etc.
Thanks for the help!
Sylvia

Sylvia, are you talking about the log-on that comes up when you first boot
up?
if so, do a search for "*.pwl" files - the * is a wildcard and will pick up
any files with the .pwl extension. delete all the files found and reboot.
you should get a blank log in box when it comes back up.
when you open word or excel, does your son's name appear instead of the
former owner's now?
