Default Folder name change

The shop where I bought my computer had entered a name in
one of the files in "Documents & Settings". When I have
tried to change the name , a message tells me that the
name cannot be changed as it is a system folder. Is there
any way in which I can change the name?

Default RE:Folder name change

Hi,

You cannot change that folder name. And it was not the
work of the shop where u bought the computer but the
feature of the OS itself. it is used to save the settings
on a per user basis.

Default Folder name change

What is the name of the folder? If it is not All Users or
Default User more than likely it is a user account. If
you can't delete it or change the name as an administrator
chances are there are services running under that
account's profile. Go to Start/control
panel/administrative tools/services and see if there are
any services running under that folder name. Sort by
Logon As
