The other solution I sometimes use when I cannot figure out what file is
causing the problem is to create a new account and abandon the old account.
This is rather drastic because it means moving documents from one account to
another (changing ownership is a must!). It also means either transferring
plug-ins and application support files too or reinstalling some software.
But it sure beats reinstalling the OS - especially when you have the upgrade
CD and not the full version. But that is a rant for another time.
This may be too hit and miss.
See Apple article ID #106824 "Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name." MacAddict's issue of October '04 gives the same info for both Panther and Jaguar. Also, there is a utility at versiontracker.com called "ChangeShortName" v1.1 described there as an "easy way."
