Re: Change Administrator folder association?
That Users\Administrator folder is there because there is a hidden
Administrator account associated with it.
What your doing here is corrupting this built-in administrator account that
is used for emergency recovery.
If you try to change the name of your own accounts user folders, you will
also corrupt those accounts. There are hundreds of registry keys that
reference those folders with their original names.
You need to try and undo what you have already changed or use System Restore
to go back to a point before you started making these changes.
