User Account Problems

[Guest]

Hello,

I changed my user account name. When I log in the Default account name is
the old name not the new one. Also, when I go to My Documents, the name is
the old account name not the new one. What is the problem?

The user profile folders (C:\Documents and Settings\Username)
_cannot_ be renamed, even if the associated user account has been.
So, your best course of action would be to log on using the built-in
Administrator account, create a new user account, with the username
desired. You can then delete the old user account(s).
