This computer was setup for a former employee and has a

look at User Accounts, there's no account for that username

I'm assuming that the IT person here somehow removed the old
user account and set up this new person, but why didn't the
old account info go away, and why doesn't the new person have
a directory hierarchy under Documents and Folders?
Finally, how can I correct this w/o losing the files that
thje old user had stored?
Whoa... be careful here... this is what I warned about on
another post/topic... if the 'olduser' account was *renamed* to
'newuser', the 'newuser' account will continue to use the
"C:\Documents and Settings\'olduser'" folder. Since there is no
"C:\Documents and Settings\'newuser'" folder, it would seem to
confirm the 'newuser' account is a renamed account.
You can also check the list at [Control Panel - System applet -
System Properties page - Advanced tab - User Profiles section -
Settings button]. If the 'olduser' account was deleted, but the
folder contents were not deleted, there will be an 'Unknown'
account listed. There should also be a 'newuser' account
listed. If there is only one account listed between the
'olduser' and the 'newuser', then they are one and the same.
There is really nothing to correct, and you now know where to
find 'newuser' documents. :)
