User Name Problem

Upon Installing afresh XPSP2 Home Edition, I made a mistake when opening a new desktop account that I share with another. For myself I entered the name "Lary" when in fact I wanted "Larry".

After a day or 2, I noticed the mistake and easily corrected the spelling in:
Control Panel
User Accounts
Cannge An Account
Change My Name

Now I have the correct spelling on the desktop log in page,

However Under:
My Computer
C
Documents and Settings
My folder is still mispelled Lary.

I am unable to right click and rename the folder, because I recieve the message:

" Lary is a windows system folder and is required for windows to run properly. It cannot be moved or renamed"

Is there a solution to this problem? It would be nice to have my name back :eek:

Thanks,
Larry...that's 2 r's :D

Larry....with 2 r's.


If the computer is running fine. I would leave well enough alone. Pain in the but, but if it does not affect performance....why fix it, if it aint broke?

But, if you would truly like to change it. that is beyond me. maybe someone else has an idea.
