    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.

    go to control panel,
    go to user accounts,
    click your user account,
    click change my name...

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