  There's an opportunity during installation of the OS where you can give 
the folder a name of your own choosing.  But once it's installed and 
running, it's somewhat harder to change.  You can't do it while the OS is 
relying on that path to find its own pieces!

  Your best bet, then, is to rename it while *some other OS* is running the 
machine.  See

  http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

for one such option.

  Note that you want to do a bit more than just change the name of the 
folder.  You'll need to change every path stored in the registry to reflect 
the new name.  And there's a hidden system file at the root named "boot.ini" 
which tells the boot loader where to find Windows, so that has to change 
too.

  Or you could re-install the OS and applications....
