Vista - Need To Change Documents Account Name / Owner

In Vista Home Premium, we have a corporate logo (with corporate name) set up
at the Logon Screen which we do not want to tamper with, but the associated
account has the name of a previous employee, which we want to change to a new
employee name - keeping the files, but changing the owner.

What is the procedure for doing this... ? Thanks!

Some additional information:

We do not want to 'add' another user name and copy the document files from
the old user to the new one, because that would create a new user logon - we
want to continue to use the 'corporate logo' logon as the only logon on that
machine. We just want to change the name that appears as the owner of the
'documents'...

Hope some one can help with this - we have been googling and searching for
an answer for over a week... :-)

If we change the name of the USER it changes the name on the logon screen -
it does not change the name on the Documents folder...

We DO NOTwant to change the name on the logon screen - we DO want to change
the name on the Documents Folder... :-)
