[Ham-Computers] How do I change system folder name

I just bought a new refurbished HP laptop from Costco.  Everything so far is
great, except that the main folder under the Documents and Settings folder
was named "Scott" by the previous user.  When I try to change that folder
name to my name I get the following message:

	"Scott is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows to run
properly.  It cannot be moved or renamed."

So, the question is:  How can I rename it from Scott to Herb?  I presume it
is a registry entry of some sort.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Herb
