You would think so; the "Accounts" panel in System Preferences, gives you the option to "Edit User." But I can't seem to change the User Name or "Short Name," which is what the name of the "Home" folder is derived from; I think I went through this when I first installed OS X. (In my case, that may be because the account is an "Admin" account, and/or the only one I've set up.) BRIAN/bpearce at cloud9.net
