Documents and Settings

[Carl]

Hi All
Question here, running XP PRO. Under documents and settings i have the two
usual folders listed , being ( all users and Carl.home and my pc id #.
It used to just say all users and Carl, but i refomated my hard drive and
reinstalled windows , now it has Carl and all the ID stuff behind it.
How can i rename it to just Carl , tryed to just rename but windows says
can't be moved or renamed being a system folder.
Thanks

This occurred because it already saw a folder called Carl. All you can =
do is create a new user account, with the name the way you want it to =
appear on the folder, then copy the old user account to the new one.

Copy a User Profile:

Open System in Control Panel. On the User Profiles tab, and under =
Profiles stored on this computer, click the user profile you want to =
copy, and then click Copy To.=20

In the Copy To dialog box, under Copy profile to, type the location for =
the new profile, or click Browse to select the path.=20
Click Change to open the Choose User dialog box, click a new user from =
the Names list, and then click Add. The new user name will appear in Add =
Name. Click OK to add the user as a new user profile on your computer.=20

Note: You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer to =
copy user profiles. To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to =
Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate =
icon.=20
