When we set up the peir to pier network we named two
computers Leanne. To correct this we went to the system
file and changed the name to Larry.

The problem is Leanne still appears as the path to My
Documents and for Email. When I try to delte the
computer says that Leanne is a systems file.

What do I need to do to change the computer totally
to "Larry"

Suggestion would be appreciated!

It sounds like you are confusing "Computer Name" with "Account name" these
are 2 different animals. To create a new user account named Larry, you need
to open Control Panel/User Accounts and create a new account for Larry. You
can then copy the files and settings from the Leanne account to the new
Larry account. You will need to log on to the Larry account at least once
before performing the copy.
