He could reinstall Windows. That'd do it.
He could create a new user account - but the old path for the other account would still exist.

Re-install OS/Change name?
Easy way make a new profile/account, port your stuff over.
It is possible do what you are saying in Vista (was much easier in XP) reinstall is not needed. Chances are if you handle doing it. you would not have posted a question here about it.

Create a new user account, make sure it's an administrator account.
Log into the new account.
Copy your files over.
Delete the old user account, then delete the old folder under; c:/Docs and settings/XXXX

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
The is a way to make windows do this automatically, it takes awhile but it transfers all files.

Dont lie. You thought it was funny to make your name 'niggertits' and now someone else will be using the computer.
