Hi Jannie,

You will need to create a new "Administrator" account with a username
you are wanting to change the C:\Users\(username)" folder to from within
your current Administrator account.

See:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93...nt-create.html


Now, logoff your old Administrator account and logon to the newly
created Administrator account. From within this account, delete your old
Administrator account.

See:
NOTE: When you get to frame 6 in this tutorial below, you will have the
option of saving all of the old Administrator's personal user folders to
a folder on the new Administrator accounts desktop. You can then just
copy them into the new user folders.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi, I want to thank you so much to Brink for the advice I found in this
thread (and Jannie for asking the question). I had a similar problem -
had an ex-display PC from Staples who didn't wipe info off before giving
it to me. So even though I changed the name everywhere I could find it
was still coming up with Documents:Staples:etc. I took the PC back to
Staples who had it for hours & told me the only way to solve it was to
do full system recovery. I did a Google search just before starting &
found this forum.
I saved the few docs I'd created to CD, created new admin user, deleted
old one & problem solved. Thank you so much for making it easy. Now I'll
have time for the Christmas shopping!

Well.....I made a new Admin account and deleted the old one (saving
files).
I did a search for "Ccity" and nothing's changed. All the documents,
music,
etc., is still under "Ccity" (after reboot). Also, I now have to go in
and
change all my settings. Perhaps I did something wrong? Maybe I'm just
tired
and should take this all up again tomorrow? *banging my head against
the
wall*


Jannie,

Restart the computer to see if it will remove the "Ccity" since you
deleted that account. I assume that you did not name the new
Administrator account with that.
