Hi. My hubbie's having my computer.
I've changed my name in User Account to his which was fine,
but weirdly the name in Documents & Settings is till the old one. Why
is that and how do I change it?

As you have discovered, you can't simply change the name on a user
account. The files/folders will still be in the original account's
name. Change the name back to your husband's and then create a new user
account with your name. Log in once. You can then copy the original
account to your new one.
