I have this laptop computer, with Windows XP on it. And...
Yeah. The default administrator account data is in a directory named Henry. And I haven't been able to figure out how to rename it. Without wiping the disk and reinstalling XP, that is.
You guessed it. The sysadmin's name was Henry. And after I left the job I tried in vain for ages to change that blasted directory name, without any luck.
Eventually, as the machine became less and less useful due to newer software requiring higher spec machines, I wiped Windows XP and installed Xubuntu Linux. I then used that machine for some years as a personal machine during lunch breaks at work when writing Darths & Droids comics with my colleagues.
But eventually I just got rid of it. So I no longer have this problem! Yay!
