When I setup XP I somehow wound up with two simillar user directory names.
For example I have two users - Joe and Sue. Joe's account uses C:\Documents
and Settings\Sue and Sue's account uses C:\Documents and Settings\Sue_2. I
don't remember specifying a dir name. I assume XP added the "_2" to the
second dir name because Sue had already been used.
This affects the names seen on my home network, WE etc. It's a pain.
I'm tempted to go to the DOS prompt and change the directory names. But
will the account manager know what happened? I could use the account manager
to remove and then re-create the users. Then I would have to copy all of the
folders and files from the old dirs to the new dirs? What's the best way to
do that?
Any other ideas?
