When viewing files after clicking Analyze, I see my name in the path for some of them.
Does anyone know where in Windows this data (my name) is stored? I know I entered when the PC was new but it escapes my memory.
Thanks!

Yes, you understood my question and thanks for the answer. So here's the next part- can I change my real name in the registry to something anonymous?
The user account name is stored in the registry (in several locations). But if your looking for the specific path on your drive, for XP it would be: C:\Docuemnts & Settings\YOUR NAME
On Vista C:\Users\YOUR NAME
Unless I misunderstood the question.

You can't change your own name. On Windows XP, only an administrator can change any other user's name.
If you don't have another administrator account, use the built-in one.
At the welcome screen, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice.
Enter Administrator for the username and no password. Login.
Go to Control Panel and select Classic View, then select User Accounts.
Click on your name and choose Change Username.
