Rename "Documents and Settings" Folder

How can I change the name of the "documents and settings" folder? I tried looking in windows site, but it doesn't seem to be there. I tried changing user account name, but that didn't do it.

The folder name is my full real name. I dont want it there, I don't like to have my real name to be anywhere on the comp.
It bugs me, I use nicknames or fake names.

anyway, is there a way to change the name, "hacking" it or somthing?

Add a new user account instead of changing your current account. That would probably be the quickets method. Once you add the new account with the nonsense username that you want, move everything over.
