Can't change folder name in xp

[jean-paul martell]

I recently had my login password change, but folder on desktop with some audio and video file is still labeled as my last name. The problem is i can't change the name of the folder. It gives error like logon script not match... registry error... Does anyone know why i can't change folder name in xp.

You can't change folder name in xp,because those folders are there according to user accounts, go to control panel and users to see if there are any other accounts in the current name of the folder.When you "rename" an account in XP it only renames the logon and keeps the original user name in the docs & settings.

• Use the /UNATTEND switch with Winnt.exe or Winnt32.exe and insert the following entry into the Unattend.txt file, where z:\foldername is the path and folder name you want:[GuiUNattended] ProfilesDir = z:\foldername
• Install Windows. The path you included in the Unattend.txt file is used instead of the default "Documents and Settings" folder.

Are you sure that it is not read only and you have permissions? Changing the name of your user folder is not supported because many applications depend on the name of this folder not changing. Check the folder path or see the properties of that folder.
