Have you not experimented with renaming accounts? <VBG> I have plenty of practice because that's what some of our users do before we get there to properly transfer a system from one user to another. And they are left scratching their heads when they can't find where things are going. <VBG> So I had to experiment to see what was happening "behind the scenes". In a way I was surprised when a renamed account did *NOT* result in a renamed folder also.

One definition of experience is that I've made all those mistakes before. Actually in this case I had the nearly the exact same experience back in the DEC PDP days working with Intergraph CADD as you've described above in that my CADD users would change the screen names but not the actual user name & resulting directories. I forbade them from renaming most anything after that fiasco back in 1980. I also played around with renaming accts when XP first came out but apparently forgot some of that. Isn't interesting that nusrmgr.cpl doesn't show all the users on a system as one can add users via lusrmgr.msc.
