How can I find the NAME of my computer profile in my hard disk?

I have been trying to copy data from my old computer profile to a NEW profile I have created. I have the following as part of the instructions I need: "Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from." My problem now is: How to identify which of many NAMES under " Documents and Settings" ( in my hard disk) is the NAME of my OLD computer profile. In the hard daisk, there are so many folders and sub-folders with different names. Which of all these is the NAME of my OLD computer profile ?

How can I find the NAME of my computer profile in my hard disk?

Reply:the name is your log on, if your log on was Mike then it would be docset/mike if your new user name is Joe, then you want to copy mike to joe.
Reply:Go to Start, Run, Type in (DXDIAG) click OK. Next window will give you a lot of info on your PC.
