| I can't change User Folder name I just recently bought a notebook with Vista Home premium. My friend was the one who installed the OS and typed her name. I know I can change the administrator name through the control panel. However, when I try renaming the user folder it tells me that I do not have permission to do it. Please help me how I can change it to my name. Thanks! |

Hello, Changing the name of your user folder is not supported because many applications depend on the name of this folder not changing. -- -JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support FAQ - http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
