It's in 'comtrol panel'. When you change the name on the account the folder names will change under My Computer/C/Users/xxxxx.

Bring up the contol panel and click on 'User Accounts', you will have an option to change the name on your account. You may not have the option to change the name on another account. You will have that option if you are an administrator.
