Now, if my assuption is correct, then the file is on my hard disk (the account being on my computer) The account is my brother's, I just want to change his profile to say something stupid. But, the file is on my computer so technically this is mine, and anyways, I can't see how changing a file on my own computer that I personally own paid for own the rights to the software etc is in any way hacking. I'm not attemping to do anything but change a single text file.

I always assumed that the profile wasn't stored on the hard drive. I may be missing something, but if the profile is stored on the hard drive of the machine the account was originally created on, wouldn't the profile be inaccessable if the user signed onto another computer in a different location?

I don't know, just what I always thought.
