    Hi ... I'm curious about a folder under the Documents and
    Settings area , there is a folder that has my full name ,
    I don't want this folder to show my full name , Is there
    any way of changing it , because when i try i get it is a
    windows system folder and is required for windows to run
    proplerly ... It cannot be moved or renamed. Can i rename
    it in safemode were it wouldn't cause any problems
    later ???

    One such folder is created for each user account. The only thing You can do is to create a new account (Mr. X ...... :D ......), copy the contents (documents, pictures and such in "My documents ") from the undesired account and when finished, delete the undesired account.

    Edited: Assuming that the undesired account is the only account or the administrator account, don't forget to make the new account an administrator ...... ;) ...... if You make it limited ...... :eek: ...... then You're in deep "You know what "!

    Since You edited out Your request for directions, I assume that You don't need them!
