When I got my computer it came with XP loaded but the guy
who set it up spelled my name as Quinton in the system
instead of Quenton. Now folders (i.e. C:/documents and
settings/quinton) and set up information are shown
incorrectly.

Is there any weay to change this winthout reistalling?

The C:\Documents and Settings\Username folders _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).
