As a joke, a "friend" of mine entered an obscene name as
the owner of my new computer when assisting me in the
initial setup a couple of days ago. As a consequence, my
personal folder under Documents and Settings is named for
a sex act with an animal. When I tried to change it
today, I received the message that that particular folder
was a Windows System Folder and could not be renamed.
What can I do? I often send and receive files for
business and cannot have the file address
read: "C:\Documents and Settings\[Obscene Sex Act with
Animal]\xxxxx"!
There has to be something, I would think, that can be
done in a situation like this. What is it?
Thank you.
