[WIN7] Changing use name

$

I installed Windows 7 Pro awhile back and had a typo in my username. I thought it would be easy enough to just switch it, so I changed it in Accounts and then noticed the User folder still had the typo. Since that's not as easily changed I wound up going into the registry to do it I think, or making a whole new account with the correct name and then copying things over. Since I did that, when I open up task manager I still see the typo user account name. How can I get every last place updated to the proper name without reformatting? It's also using that name to register all my programs. EDIT: Never mind, I'm just reformatting it.
