Subject: Renaming account leaves traces

Hi. On a Server 2003 R2 SP2 domain, a user [I'll call him John] left the
company but a new user [I'll call him Bob] joined. Since Bob would be doing
the same functions as John and because a PC that John used had a special
configuration, the account was renamed from John to Bob in the ADUC.

While everything shows up as Bob there are still certain things that will
show John's name on that specifically configured PC. An example would be
John's name for My Documents [in one view it will say John's Documents] and
the local path will be something like C:\Documents And Settings\John .

Is there anyway way of renaming anything with John's name in it - aside from
deleting the local profile - which would be a bad idea because of the
configuration?

Thanks
