    I am trying to sync my login id.  The basic issue is that the user account that was set up on my VISTA machine was in the format "Bill & Jane".  The WHS did not match the & so it continues to give me a message that my logins don't match.  I have tried renaming the user account through the control panel with no luck.  There are a couple of odd things happening...

    I renamed my account to BillJane.  The matching error states on of 2 things - either the name is Bill Jane (I can't tell if it is 1 or 2 spaces) or Bill _Jane (the _ looks really small).  The issue is that it changes from login to login...

    What I want to do is get the logins sync'd.  I'd prefer to do it without having to create a new login and migrate all my files over to the new login...
