Changing my username

When I installed XP, I set my username as "Brian J"
because I named my computer Brian, and it isn't allowed
to create a username that equals the computer name. Now,
I've changed my computer name, and I want my username to
be "Brian". I changed it in Control Panels/User Accounts.
When I log on, it still says "Brian J". My documents
folder is now called Brian, but I dont like how the
default log-on is "Brian J". I searched the registry for
every instance of "Brian J" and changed it, but when it
boots up it changes back. If anyone knows where else this
data is stored besides the registry, I would appreciate
it.
