Changing my name

[Paula Dawn]

How do I change my name on my Doc and settings folder?
I am tired of the Gateway user name.
Thanks

You would have to create a new account, with the username as you want it to
appear on the folders. The copy your files and settings to it.

Copy a User Profile:

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

In the Copy To dialog box, under Copy profile to, type the location for the
new profile, or click Browse to select the path.
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.

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.

Additional Note: You cannot copy from, or to, the profile you're currently
logged on with.

I am emailing a little program I was sent that allows you to change the
owners name. It is small, 9kb.
