Changing Account Names

When I first set up my new PC I created but one user with admin permissions
and put our dog's name in as the main account name. But when it kept
appearing in program installations I wanted to switch it.

So I went into CONTROL PANEL > ACCOUNTS and switched it to ADMIN. And indeed
most of the time the directory tree is C > ADMIN > DOCUMENTS. But every now
and then it shows up as C > FIDO > DOCUMENTS

How can I get rid of all reference to Fido? Is it that some programs may
still be storing files in FIDO and I need to get in and change them all?

Thanks!

Thanks for that... Oh boy! Another chance to screw up my registry! JK. I do
have some software that is probably saving to the old path... so since my PC
is only a week old, perhaps I can get away with modifying the save path to
the new one.
