Hello Eric,
What you are seeing is the reference to the "C:\Users\user name"
folder. While you can change the name of the user account and the
Registered Owner, you cannot change the "C:\Users\user name"
name. The only way to do this is to create a new administratoraccount
and delete the old one from within the new one.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Eric,
When you delete the old user account, you will have an option to "Keep
Files". This will save the contents of the old user account user folders
to a folder on the desktop of the new user account. You can then just
copy them over to the new user account folders. This tutorial will help
show you how to if needed.
