Deleting old corrupt accounts is actually harder then one would think. LOTS of data claims that it cant be deleted so you end up with alot of useless and wasted HD space. It took me a week to delete all those files that it claimed could not be delated.
actually, it took about 5 min. copying over everything to the new account too an hour and a half, but deleting the old one was as simple as deletng the entry for it in userAccounts and then manually emptying out the folders on the c: drive. now, adam2 is a perfect clone of adam and adam no longer officially exists.

i'm not mechanical engi. i'm not even an engineer. the cs department at drexel is in the college of engineering, not computer & informations systems department like you'd expect. oh, and that's computer science, not computer engineer, or software engineer.

everything seems to be working alright for now. i fixed an unrelated problem w/ counterstrike freezing on the motd screen too. i just replaced the motd_temp and textwindow_temp files in my cstrike folder with blank files and flagged them as read-only so css couldn't write to them, and thus i don't get motd's anymore.

really, all that's left with the account problem is if i end up using a program that references a file i had stored in the original account, i have to change it to the new one.
