| Vista Home Premium x64 | Strange User account showing I got a storage drive back in February and transferred files through the files and settings transfer in Vista. What is strange is that after this I noticed there was a profile with the name Mcx 1 that also transferred and I have never made any other profiles for this computer since the day I bought it. Any idea what this is or how it came up. I havent had any problems and have no virus's or anything else. I am puzzled though, any info would be helpful. |

Set up a Windows Media Center Extender device http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...407201033.mspx From the page ..... "......You can then enjoy live TV, recorded TV, pictures, music, videos, and other digital media on your Xbox 360 as you would in Windows Media Center. A new user account named mcx1 (by default) is automatically created to use the Extender." -- Jon |
