Change "OWNER" to my name under Documents and Settings

[Rick]

On the C: Drive, How can I rename the owner folder to my
name without reinstalling Windows? I'm speaking of
C:\documents & settings\Owner; I want it to be in my
name like it was before I upgraded my computer and
reinstalled windows xp. Thanks for the help!

Rick;
The easiest way is to create a new account then copy the data from the
old to new account:

Once you are sure the new account is OK, the old account can be safely
deleted from User Accounts in Control Panel.

I got mine to change in Control Panel, User Accounts, Computer
Administrator, Change User Name

But - it only changed "My Documents" to "Courtney's Documents" in "My
Computer"
and in
C:\documents & settings\Default User

That was easy enough! I was thinking that I had tried
something like that in the past and it didn't work, but I
guess I was mistaken because it works fine. Thanks for
the tip.
