Hello,

I only have one user account on windows xp professional,
and this is the computer administrator. I want to change
the name of the user to something else, but when I do,
the folder inside C:\Documents and Settings\ that holds
my setting remains in the name that was there before. In
addition, the 'My Documents' folder does not get re-
titled to 'John's Documents' like it did with 'Guests
Documents'. I would have no problem deleting this account
and starting afresh but I dont know how to do that!

Also, in the folder I deleted the 'My Music' folder and
now I want it back! If i create my own it doesn't come
out with the nice musical note pictures! How do I bring
it back from the dead??

Many Thanks for your time.

John
