I received a new rig that I pieced together through a PC integrator the other day. All is great, stable and sound. The only disappointment I have is that I can't personalize the name of the main Admin user folder(s)/extensions (found under Documents & Settings) that the integrator used when installing XP Pro before sending it to me. I did figure out how to change the 'Registered User' name, but it's annoying me to see {insert undesirable account name here} as the original Admin user profile name (i.e. the folder name listed in the "address" field of Windows Explorer when exploring C:\Documents & Settings\********\etc)
First, is it "worth it" to do this? Would this require a total reformat/fresh install of XP (and all the drivers) OR would an upgrade install do the trick here? All I've loaded on my OS so far are burn-in/bench test apps. - I do have an unopened XP Pro CD/key (oem) ... How long of a process would it be to wipe my current HD (320gb) and do a fresh install?
