Transfer user accounts but keep name XP Pro

I am the only one who uses my computer. I use XP Pro and primarily use the
user account named "Bob", which has administrator privileges. I had a
problem with an important piece of software which was corrected when I
created a new user account with administrative privileges. So need to
transfer my settings and files to a new user account. However, I have a
number of macros written which call for files to be opened which are found
in c:\documents and settings\Bob\.... So, I would like for my new user
account to be named "Bob". My question is how can I transfer/copy my files
and settings from my current account named "Bob" to my new account named
"Bob". I am sure the task will involve either renaming my current account
or copying them to another account, deleting "Bob" and then creating a new
account named "Bob". But, when I tried renaming my current "Bob", to
"BobS", it changed it among the user accounts but did not change the
directory structure to read c:\documents and settings\BobS.

How should I go about this?
Thanks in advance.
Bob
