New to Vista Questions

This is may be ridiculous but I'm new to this Vista-so-called Operating System I wish to know about and how to prevent any crash, broken, or anything wrong regarding the system
This is a few question I wish to know more:

1.How can I change the directory name or folder to my desired name :
C:\...\alias\....
I wanna rename it with my name to replace alias?

2.I have Avast antivirus program the case is my Security Center can not detect any antivirus installed on my computer how to verify that I have antivirus monitored?

3.I got a little matters to discuss I had Revo Uninstaller and I'm very happy to have it but yesterday when I processed evidence remover it may be an hour or so but when I check it again it already 100% and keep increasing to 101...102....106%!! whatta and when I check on my disk it also reducing the memory from 199 Gb free of 225 Gb to 56 Gb!!! I keep do nothing until the disk turns red then I stoped it and it back to normal 199 Gb! it may be no big deal but I just want to know why did that happen?

4.I got Mozilla Firefox 3 and sometimes when I open a new tab it stop for 2or 3 second than continue as usual I got a few add-ons installed is that a cause ? or other cause to make Mozilla and my internet connection via CDMA modem take longer than usual?


attention this is only a little question among many more question Iwould like to discuss here in Vista because I think here is the absolute right place to do it!!
I would be appreciate any help comes from human not BOT!!

Add-ons could be an issue. To check if its an add-on causing this issue, click Start>Run and type firefox -safe-mode and hit enter.
