[AccessD] Windows can be so much fun

And after changing the "Mike laptop" to jwc in about 50 places, the system booted slooooooowly and 
refused to shut down.  I rolled back, restoring the registry and I am back.  Whew!  All I did this 
time was replace the "Registered User" with my name.  Another lesson learned.

I am really loving Windows 7 and my Seagate Momentus XT drive.  Between the two I am at the login 
prompt is about 25 seconds and at the desktop and stable in about 50 seconds.  That is nothing short 
of amazing.
