I did the "Change Name of User Profile" tutorial a while back and everything worked great. I just happened to be looking around the registry for another thing I was doing and accidentally hit F3. It did a search for my old username from before the change and it found stuff. I decided I would change all the references from old to new and came across a MUICache that was full of entries with the old name. If I'm not mistaken, the MUICache is just a 'recently used' list, but I wanted to verify this before doing something stupid (yes, I've made a backup).
