    Control Panel>User Accounts, click on the account you want to change and then click on "Change my name." You have to be logged on as that user or administrator.

    When you logon using the new account, it should create a new folder under Docs&Settings. You can then, if you want, copy most of the contents from the old folders to the new one while logged on as admin. Then delete the old folder if you want.

    If you meant something else by "username" please say what.
