A user at work recently got married and has requested for her domain username to be updated to reflect her married name. She uses a Windows 7 PC on a Windows 2003 domain.
I know that I can simply update the user's name in AD and this will probably suffice for the most part; however, the folder structure on her PC will not reflect this change, which could cause confusion for her further down the line:
c:\users\old-username\
Besides completely re-creating the user's profile on this PC from scratch, how can I correct the misspelling in the user's profile?

Microsoft has an answer for this:
Both give the same information, in different ways. The important part is that renaming the profile's pathname requires an update to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
