How to change user name on Vista?

• How would I change the C:\User name on Windows Vista? I'm not talking about the user account name. I'm talking about the folder. The computer was previously owned before I got it and now when I save everything it goes to C:\user\chuck\etc.. But my name isn't chuck and I want to change this. Is there an easy way to do this? Also if I were to have to make a new folder with my name and then move everything over, what would I need to move and how would I go about doing this? Thanks

• Answer:

  Sounds like you just need to create a new user account and copy the data you need into the profile. This is how you create a user account on the Home editions of Vista: 1.Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety, and then clicking User Accounts. 2.Click Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 3.Click Create a new account. 4.Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type, and then click Create Account.
