dear all:
system: xp home
machine name: jennifer
one and only profile named: jennifer\dianne
profile stored at c:\documents and settings\dianne
user account is jennifer.
machine used to be named dianne. was renamed to jennifer.
dianne used to log in on this pc but pc was moved. now jennifer logs in
as jennifer instead.
some things still show up as dianne even tho user account is jennifer.
we dont want the dianne account or her user profile on this machine
anymore.
clarification: we need the information contained within, but prefer
not to have it NAMED dianne but rather Jennifer.
how can we name the profile "jennifer", stored at c:\documents and
settings\jennifer?
(we can rename machine if thats the problem.)
in user profiles, we cant copy dianne to jennifer. its grayed out.
thank you in advance,
James Long

How was the PC renamed from dianne to Jennifer?in control panel->system, computer name tab.
How was jennifer created as a new user account. Was Control Panel | User
Accounts used?
I believe so. I believe she was put in as a user to facilitate her logging
on to her own acount. but none the less,
she uses the dianne profile stored in dianne, since its the only profile.
there is no unique profile for jennifer, or named jennifer I should say.
Was Jennifer account suppose to access dianne's account files?everything in diannes is to become jennifers. yes.
Was dianne account deleted?diannes user account? I see no dianne in users.
diannes profile? its there and is used by jennifer even now. see info
below.
I need this sorted out. jennifer is using diannes profile.
we want to copy diannes profile to jennifer.
but cant. whats next?
I think If I rename the machine to "snork" as an example,
so that it is not named jennifer, I would be able to copy
diannes profile to a new one called jennifer. Is that correct?
this way we effectively transfer the dianne profile to jennifer.
thank you in advance again,
James Long
