I recently changed my comp. name & workgroup in the properties of my computer.To my surprise, the next time i started my pc runnin' windows xp pro, all the settings were in default mode and the changes i made were gone.Also i see a new user folder in 'Documents & Settings' folder in c: named IBM (this is the name which i changed in the properties & i am also runnin' this company's pc) bt when i try to delete it, it says that "It is a Windows system folder & Windows requires it to work properly.This folder cannot be deleted." Wat shud i do ??? I want to delete this folder............ Plz hlp !!

First delete that user from User Accounts in Control Panel .. Then delete it ..

But there is no user with that name!!!

create a new account and send your old account files from your documents and settings directory. now log on using this account.

hope..the problem would be solved

But i want to delete this folder.Will i be able to delete this folder while logged into another user?

I always had problems with username stuff. So I never make any users. I just login and use admnistator only.This is applicable to only those who don't their computers.
