I just installed Windows XP pro on my system and I made a user account named
123 during the setup process. After xp installed I went into the users
command in control panel and renamed the123 account to 456. If I look in
the C:\Documents and Settings\ folder the account is still named
C:\Documents and Settings\123 instead of the 456. Can I just rename the
folder? Will this cause problems if try to access files across a network
(permissions are set for user 456 on the other computer)?
