Made the mistake of creating a User Account, "the Smiths," and then later
changing User Name to "Ed" with password on older computer running XP.
Would now like that account to be "Ed" to be consistent with another
computer running Vista on my LAN. Is the correct way to make this change
(1) change the User Name of "the Smiths" from "Ed" to say "Smith" as a
temporary expedient, (2) create a new User Account name "Ed," which will
generate the necessary file structure under Documents and Settings along
with its User Name of "Ed", (3) copy files from Documents and Setting\the
Smiths to Documents and Setting\Ed and (4) delete the User Account "the
Smiths"? My biggest concern is the copying of files - most of which I do
not understand their value/purpose?
