Documents and setttings folder name

I createad A user account in XP pro that had the wrong
name and when I went to change it the folder name under
documents and settings did not change with it I NEED to
change the name of that folder because the user account
name that it uses as its name no longer exists ex: the
user name was origianlly Dougals County Vet I changed
that to DC animal hospital
but the user name for the folder under documents and
settings still says Douglas County Vet I need it to say
DC animal hospital without re-installing windows

Create a new user so that the proper folder is created under DOCUMENTS
AND SETTINGS. Then log-on as the Administrator and go to the Control
Panel > System > Advanced > User profiles to copy the old user profile
onto the new one. Test the new profile and if all is well, delete the
old user.
