Hi,

I know this is an issue with quite the reputation for having an elusive
solution (if one even exists), but I will ask.

Does anyone know how to change the name appearing in the C:\Documents and
Settings\Username path? I have changed the name of my User Account, as well
as editing the RegisteredOwner key in my registry (found under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion), though the
name appearing in the C:\Documents and Settings\Username path will not
change.

I am running Windows XP.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your time.
