Want to rename "My Documents" and "My Network Places"

I'm running XP Pro. If I try to change the names of these folders it seems to go through ok, but the next time I startup they go back to their default names. I've done this in the past and never had a problem but I've noticed that the names just won't stick now. I am running a variety of spyware blockers... could one of them possibly be monitoring registry changes like these and then "repairing" them on the next boot? Any ideas? Thanks.
 
IIRC you have to change the registry entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders to point to your renamed My Documents folder, otherwise it will keep recreating it..
