I realized that the username i typed when i reformatted my computer had an extra letter that messed up the name. In My Computer, there is a catergory containing "Shared Documentes" and "[Username]Documents." I was able to fix the name of my username for this category by going into the registry. But when I went into the Documents and Settings folder, the original username was shown. Is there any way to rename this folder? Thx.

I did that from the start. Everything else changed except for the name of the folder in the Documents and Setting folder.
