I received a pc from a friend of mine. The pc belong to
his son Justin. The operating system is XP. The problem
Im having is that I can't remove "Justin" from the C:
Drive. The path is as follows.
C:
{} All users
{} Desktop
+ {} Favorites
+ {} Shared Documents
+ {} Start Menue
- {} Justin
{} Cookies {} MY Documents {} Start Menue

When I try to delect or change the name I get ( Justin is
a windows system folder and is required for windows to run
