Default Problem with user profile documents in XP

Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. I have duplicate user profile folders in my documents and settings folder. So I have folders like so:

-All Users
-All Users.WINDOWS (new folder)
-Bonoz
-Bonoz.U2-FT7G1V4H1K51 (new folder)

I first installed XP, and then overwrote that with another XP installation. So I'm thinking that's how the duplicates were created. So what I did was I deleted the old folders which are the ones that are named 'normally'. However, now I want to rename the new folders. So I want to know if there is a way to rename the document and settings user profile folders.

Thanks

The only real way to do it is to create a new profile. That will be the only way to associate a new folder with your profile.
