Can u Change an XP User Profile

If all you want to change is the username of the account,
that's fairly easy.

a) If this is a local account (NOT a domain account), do
the following:

Open Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer
Management.
Expand Local Users and Groups, click the Users folder.
Click the user you want to rename, and from the Action
menu, select Rename.

You can also select properties on the user and change the
Full Name and Description if you want.

b) If this is a /domain/ account, you'll want to do the
same thing, but replace all of the above with the Active
Directory Users and Computers snap-in on the domain
controller (assuming a Windows 2000/2003 domain). Just
find the user there and rename it.

If you're trying to rename additional things, more
information on what you want to rename is needed.
