drive the users folder she put her name piperdy as the main user and that
folder is where almost all my stuff is saved so when ever i save somthing it
comes up as c:/users/piperdy/soandso ive tried renameing it but it just makes

You can create a new user profile and grant him administrator permissions
with your current account.
After that copy all the profile content from piperdy to your new account
profile. Finally, you can delete piperdy account from the system.
