Make a new account with the name you want. Then give it local administrator rights.

Now log in as new user account.

Then copy your documents and favorites from the admin account at
(you can also copy your cookies if need be)

c:\documents and settings\administrator\
to
c:\documents and settings\%new username%

At this point since you are using a different account then administrator and have given yourself admin rights, you can turn back on the welcome screen and create more accounts for whoever else you want.

I understand that, thanks.

But what's frustrating is that, when you access a file for the 1st time in with new user name, the software program has to install itself for each user.

We use alot of programs and have already "tweaked" each woth personal toolbars, settings, etc.

I just thought that if we could use the old profile by just changing the name of it, then we wouldn't have to do all of that.

Oh well, I guess I can't. No biggie, I'll just create the new user and re-tweak everything.

Thanks alot everybody!
