Q.
What would I have to do if I have Novell iFolder installed and later on, I decide to rename the Username from Administrator to Admin. (This is assuming that I want to keep the same Novell iFolder information, but would just like to rename the Windows user). Would I have to uninstall and re-install Novell iFolder (and possibly re-download all data)?

A.
Dear Needing: You can rename the Novell iFolder directory to Admin. If you look under the folder My Documents\iFolder, there is your username. Just rename that to the new username and you won't have to synchronize any files down. However, Novell iFolder will do a reconciliation, where it will compare the files on the workstation to the server.
