Al,

Log in to the workstation as a local administrative user. (preferably not

the user you want to correct) I've also done this with the network

administrator.

You may want to COPY instead of RENAME the old folder. It depends on how

fast you want to get it done, and maybe undo something.

In the Users folder, determine which user folder is which.

Rename the new folder to something else.

Rename the old folder to that new folders original name.

In the properties of the folder, change the owner of the folder and all

files and folders under it to the new user.

Log in as the new user.
