Unimaginatively the retailer set up my laptop to have a single user account
(with Administrative privileges) with the name "Any User". Using the User
Accounts facility I changed the name to "Chris" and have been working with
this for some while now. The new name appears on the logon screen and on
the start menu - and that's good. Unfortunately the directory structure in
which the desktop, my documents and other parameters are stored is still
called Any User - ugh! Is there any way to change this without the whole
tower fall down around me!

TIA

Chris
