Changing a name under documents and settings.

Had to have windows xp reloaded and for some reason they loaded Steve Hornyak instead of George Hornyak on some files. I've corrected the computer name but can't figure out how to change the documents and settings one, any help?

short answer, you can't.

Way around it is to create a new user with name George...that will automatically create profile under document and setting by the nae George..... then you can go to system properties / Advance / User profile and copy the Steven profile over the newly created George profile...now you will have a two profile identical with two different name, George and Steven.


hope that helps.


Cheers
