I am wondering if it is possible to change the name of a user folder in
'Documents and Settings/User'? I have changed the name of the account in
"User Accounts" but the user folder is the same old name...
 
Hi,

No, it's not - it's a fixed system file. What you *can* do is create a new
account with the preferred user name and copy the old user profile into it.
