All you have done by changing the account name is just that - you have changed the externally visible login and display name for the account object. Everything behind that account such as folder names and registry information remains as was when it was first created. The ideal solution would be to create a new account and then install the relevant software under that account (obviously if you want to use the same name then first rename the current account to something else) -- Mike Brannigan |
