"Is there is a way to map the GUID to a username within the registry itself? The answer is, yes there is! Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Under this key, you will see all the GUID's for the various user profiles. The ProfileImagePath value under the appropriate GUID will point you to the user's profile path - so now you know how to figure out which GUID belongs to which user."

I think you mean SID, not GUID ;-)

I'm fighting a default profile issue - somehow the My Documents and My Pictures folders are being renamed. I've been through the registry and updated the users, but any new user gets this updated. I'm not seeing it in HKU\.default. Any suggestions?
