Owner profile

[Brian Gotjunk]

I just re-installed WinXP-SP2 on my computer becasue I had to replace the
harddrive.

I installed all of my software, and then setup my accounts:

A - Admin account
B - Limited user
C - Limited user

The problem I am having is that my "A"' folder in 'C:\Documents and
Settings' is still listed as "Owner" instead of "A" and my default user has
"A's Documents" instead of "Owner's Documents" (are you thoroughly confused)

What is the easiest way to change the 'C:\Documents and Settings' to show
"A" instead of "Owner"?

1. Just editing the name
2. Copying the "A" profile and naming it "D", then deleting the "A"

Any help appreciated

Create a new user account, copy the info from the old account
to the new account, then delete the old account.
