Would it make sense if i took my most important files and put them on a usb memory stick, created a new administrator account, deleted the old one and then put the files back on the newly created administrator account?
Is it worth a try?
What happens with my programs if i delete the old user account? Is windows going delete them, or do they stay on my computer? Is there anything else i should be aware of? I realize that my personal settings will be reset, but i could probably change them back again in about an hour or so.
Okay, i think im going to give it a try.

I was able to do it without any problems. It seems to be the easiest way to do it.
Actually, it seems like i ran into some problems. My desktop theme, which i had saved, had disappeared on my new user account. Also, spotify had been uninstalled for some reason, so i had to install it again. Plus, like brink said, i had to change back all of the settings on my programs.
I noticed that, at the bottom of ccleaner, right where ccleaner displays your username along with specifications about your computer, it still shows my old user name? Why is that?
