start -> run -> compmgt.msc
in Computer Management, system tools -> local users and groups -> Users,
find 'postgres' and delete it.
also delete the directories and contents in "C:\Documents and
Settings\postgres" and/or "C:\Documents and
Settings\postgres.MACHINENAME" (these are the account profile
directories, and when the user 'postgres' gets recreated, they will have
the wrong ownership).
