Change name on user folder in Doc's and Settings?
I am wondering if it is possible to change the name of a user folder in
'Documents and Settings/User'? I have changed the name of the account in "User Accounts" but the user folder is the same old name...

Change name on user folder in Doc's and Settings?

No, it's not - it's a fixed system file. What you *can* do is create a new account with the preferred user name and copy the old user profile into it.
