He may not be able to delete the Scott acct using this method if it is the
only administrator acct.

go into Control Panel, Users, and create a user account for yourself 
named Herb (or Frank, or Sally, or whatever you like).  This sets up an 
entirely different profile for you and you'll have your own folder.

It's a little creepy that a refurb still has a name on it.  It could 
also have Scott's personal data.

Regardless, you can delete the Scott account.


Enjoy your laptop.
