Directories for the DOS Inclined

I found a new surprise in Longhorn today; here's something that should be fixed: 

Say you create a new user, with a spelling that's slightly off.  So you log on as “BortSimpson” only to realize that you spelled your name wrong.  You would think that changing the user name would also repoint the directories to “BartSimpson,” however when you look at the directories in “Documents and Settings,” it retains the old names... looks like “Bort” is sticking around for a while, even if Windows learned your name is really Bart.  I do forsee WinFS doing some of this legwork in the future, but only time will tell.
