cannot change wrong name of Documents and Settings map

[johanna]

Hello,
How can I change a misspelt map name in the Documents and
Settings section of Windows Explorer ? After I corrected
the name via Users accounts, the right name appears above
the Start Menu, but not in the map name of Windows
Explorer. Thank you.

While you can change the user name many times, the underlying folder for
the account retains the original name. To fix, create a new user and log on
to the new account to get folder names that match the user name.

Data from the old account can be copied to the new one. See Help and
Support info on "copy a user profile" for directions.
