When I build PC's I usually copy my profile to the default user profile so all of my users get the same profile the first time they logon. After a user logs on and they go to C:\Documents and Settings\ their My Documents folder says Cmercer's Documents which is my name. I went to the Default User profile and tried to rename the folder to My Documents but it goes right back to cmercer's instead of My. Can someone tell me how to disable this feature.

check the settings in the registry as well. Maybe you are only changing the name but actually the settings in the registry says something else.

try searching for My Documents in the registry and see the value. if its mercers doc then change it to my doc. mainly the value at hkey_users-.default-(s-1-5-21)-software-microsoft-office-11.0-common-general.
