What files are they looking for? Maybe they're protected by Word or whatever? Or its an accounting package that has a password?
Maybe, but unlikely. I saw no evidence of sophistication on the part of the user. The My Documents file was a mish-mash of jpgs, anti-virus logs, empty folders, etc. I'm not sure he knew what the Del key was for. The entire desktop was taken up with shortcuts to internet URLs, apparently he didn't know about or maybe just didn't like the idea of bookmarks. I'll say one thing, though: he must have had fabulous reflexes. The mouse was set up so "hot" that I could barely click on anything. Move the mouse an inch and the cursor would go two thirds of the way across the screen. (I fixed that in control panel)
There was no hint of financial management programs that I could find, not even Quicken or similar. Closest thing was a link to a Merill Lynch website for stock market prices.
So, I think the computer is going to be pretty much a dead end. (no pun intended)
