Help me please get rid of an exwife!
How do I change the path name of the "My Documents" folder so that it
doesn't say
"C:\Documents and Settings\Tarzan and jane\My Documents\". ?? I would prefer
just Tarzan! Thankyou

Can't help with the ex-wife part but for the folder name you'll need to
create a new profile with whatever name you want, copy over the data
from <Ttarzan and jane> to the new one, then delete the old one.

You don't copy programs to the new profile. If needed move the
shortcuts for the programs from that profile to the new profile. But
that should happen when you copy the user profile if you follow the
instructions on Kelly's site. The programs are still isntalled.
