Sorry I don't have an answer only the same problem. I bought a laptop that
was a display model. The admin account was a long number. I would have
changed the account name to mine but the folders are still the long number.
There must be some solution, my searches so far have not revealed an answer
only a large number of people that want to do the same thing. If not a
simple rename there must be a procedure to accomplish this. I would settle
for the simple way XP remapped My Documents.
