Hi,

You can't change it. You can create a new user profile with the preferred
name and copy over the files and settings you want while logged on as
administrator. Then use that profile and delete the unwanted one.

Is it possible that you are trying to do this while you are logged in as
yourself. This would cause XP to 'lock' that folder. Just remember if
you rename that folder, you may experience problems since there are
registry keys that connect your user ID to that folder.
