Local profile issue in Win 2000

[martan1912]

Hello Everyone !
I hope someone can help me with this. My windows user is called - let's give him name Jmilk.This is how I login into server and windows as well. BUT, my folder in C:/Documents and Settings is called John Milk. I think this discrepancy happened while back when I was formatting my disk and installing Windows, I gave it a full name (John Milk). So right now my login is Jmilk and local folder is John Milk. Everything is working fine, there is no problem at all. The problem is in the very near future when we switch to a new server and I really have to get this two to be the same - which is Jmilk. So my question is - Is it even possible to change this folder name so it matches my login and everything still works fine? I know I can't just change the name of course, but is there any registry tweak or any other way? It would really make my lif e a lot easier.
Here is what I was thinking and what I've done.
I made a copy of my full registry and opened it in Word. Then I replaced ALL the John MIlk values with Jmilk values and saved it. It worked fien and I have this copy in my PC. But I haven't load it since I'm not sure whether this is a solution. I was thinking about loading this registry and then renaming folder John Milk to Jmilk. It kind of make sence to me, but I'm not sure.
Is there any way to make this happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a quick fix for this issue... all you have to do is to copy the profile John Milk to desired profile right ??
go to Control Panel \System \ Advanced \User Profile section click on Setting\ Select the profile and click on "Copy to" \ that should do the trick.
