XP account name

When I first installed XP I created an account for use, the name I gave it was "poo"(dont ask). After I finished installing I decided I wanted to change the name of the account (poo)to something else (vertigo) and use the original name (poo)for a different limited account. I changed the name (from poo to vertigo) and created a limited account for the original name (poo).

The account "poo" is a limited account that I give my flatemates so they can access shares on my PC

Now when I goto C:\documents and settings I see the my "vertigo" account name folder is called "poo". Could this be a security risk how can I change it so that the folder reads vertigo as does the account name?

lol

I don't think this is a prob. It's changed all the security settings (I'm fairly sure). It just kept the folder, cause a lot of stuff probably points there. In any acount I wouldn't worry. With a limited acount you can't really do anything (I couldn't even check my e-mail).
