TOTAL DISASTER in Set Up

As a joke, a "friend" of mine entered an obscene name as
the owner of my new computer when assisting me in the
initial setup a couple of days ago.  As a consequence, my
personal folder under Documents and Settings is named for
a sex act with an animal.  When I tried to change it
today, I received the message that that particular folder
was a Windows System Folder and could not be renamed.

What can I do?  I often send and receive files for
business and cannot have the file address
read: "C:\Documents and Settings\[Obscene Sex Act with
Animal]\xxxxx"!

There has to be something, I would think, that can be
done in a situation like this.  What is it?

Thank you.

Jonathan;
1.  Go here:

Line 7 Right column "Change registered owner..."

2.  Create new profile and copy data from old to new profile.
Delete old profile when you are sure all important data is safe:
