Create a new account, with the name the way you want it to appear on the =
user's folder. Then copy the old account to the new one.

Profiles stored on this computer, click the user profile you want to =
copy, and then click Copy To.=20

the new profile, or click Browse to select the path.=20

the Names list, and then click Add. The new user name will appear in Add =
