I was trying to fix Malware problems in my computer which was done successfully but I came across another problem and my Expert Helper told me to come here to try and fix this problem.

It's kind of a weird problem:
My User name is David, but just my documents are
"C:\Documents and Settings\Judith"
And I can not change that name no matter what I do. And I can not rename the folder because its a "Windows Folder"
And there is no User on this computer by the name of "Judith"

The folder name is what would have been the name of the account when it was originally created. You can change the display name which does not change the name of the folder on the hard drive.

If you want rid of it, the best thing to do is to make a new account and delete the old one.
