Changing A Name

[Guest]

Hi, I recently received a new computer for Christmas from my parents. When my
dad was setting things up for me, he must have typed in his own name for
something instead of mine. When I "browse" for a certain destination for a
file or picture, the label will have his name, not mine. For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\John Collins\My Documents\My Pictures\.....

I would like it to say:
C:\Documents and Settings\Liz Collins\My Documents\My Pictures\.....

Is there any way I can change the names? I know it isn't a huge problem, but
it bothers me since it's my computer. Thanks for any help!

Creater a new user account and start using it instead of the one your dad
created.

Create a new User Account, copy the current user profile,
then delete the old User Account.
