    You can just copy over all the files/folders using drag/drop and replacing and then just change the owner of all those files. You can use the Finder to change owner but it's more reliable with the terminal using:



    sudo chown -R newuser ~/new_home



    so if your new shortname is jim, the command would be:



    sudo chown -R jim ~/jim
