If possible, I would like to rename a system folder under C:\Documents and
Settings\(Here is what I would like to rename). Any ideas?

Hi,

You can't rename the user account folder. You can change the name seen on
the logon, but not the folder that houses the profile. You would have to
create a new profile with the preferred name, then copy the existing one
into it.
