Here is the best info I have found on the subject so far. How to Change a User Account Name in Vista "Even though the user name will be changed in the Start menu and in User Accounts (Control Panel), this will not change the C:\Users\(user name) folder name. DO NOT CHANGE the user folder name manually. If you do, you will have a lot of problems with that user account since everything is still referenced to the original C:\Users\(user name) folder name. The only way to change the C:\Users\(user name) folder name is to either create a new user account and delete the old account, or reinstall Vista." Here is a link that might be useful: user-account-name

I have already been deactivated, but I don't use it and would like to be sure it is removed from their listings or whatever they do with it. Jodi, I tried that, but it is still showing just the very tops of the letters in that row. I tried clicking on those bits of the letters, but it is just not enough to make the connection.

Hi again. This has been a good, well-rounded conversation. Other than a little concern on privacy issues, I liked Facebook. Take that for what it is worth from someone who was there less than two weeks. LOL. My personal experience was "you don't know if it's for you until you try it" and realizing that I prefer smaller, more intimate groups. As to wondering if there were any problems occuring with deactivation, I had read of those who continued getting email, especially ads. Thanks to those who said how much they love it. That is quite understandable if your family is spread far and wide; mine is not, we are fortunate to have most everyone very close at hand, easy for us to visit each other or to pick up the phone. That is far from true for most today. Am also not interested in the games features. Thanks also for the info on deletion. Admittedly, I did not know that deactivation did not mean all my information would be gone and appreciate knowing that. This is a great place for hearing all angles and allowing one to make more informed decisions. You are all terrific!

From a google search: Email Facebook directly at privacy@facebook.com and request them to delete your account. Wait to get an email response from Facebook confirming that your account has been permanently deleted. This should take a few days. If you don't hear back from Facebook within a week, email them again at privacy@facebook.com, as well as support@facebook.com and info@facebook.com.
