| | Why are folders containing users' files called Documents? I have a folder (G:\UsersFiles) with all the user's home directories (for example called G:\UsersFiles\edward) with their files, but Windows Vista and Server 2008 are not displaying the folders as the usernames, but is virtually renaming them to "Documents". I don't want all these folders called "Documents", I want their real folder names to be display instead. How do I fix this? |

| | RE: Why are folders containing users' files called Documents? I don't know how to make it the default, but you can right click on the Document folder and select "Rename" in order to give it the name that you want. - John "Edward" wrote: Quote: > I have a folder (G:\UsersFiles) with all the user's home directories (for > example called G:\UsersFiles\edward) with their files, but Windows Vista and > Server 2008 are not displaying the folders as the usernames, but is virtually > renaming them to "Documents". > > I don't want all these folders called "Documents", I want their real folder > names to be display instead. > > How do I fix this? |

Set Explorer to show hidden files and to not hide protected OS files, then you'll be able to see the desktop.ini files in each folder. Edit the desktop.ini file & remove the line: LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770 -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Edward" <Edward@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0A0C4993-A04E-4A67-87EE-28485ABC94A3@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a folder (G:\UsersFiles) with all the user's home directories (for > example called G:\UsersFiles\edward) with their files, but Windows Vista > and > Server 2008 are not displaying the folders as the usernames, but is > virtually > renaming them to "Documents". > > I don't want all these folders called "Documents", I want their real > folder > names to be display instead. > > How do I fix this? |
