My User folder (under "C:\Users") has changed name to "Music" instead of my username! This happened when I was moving my music across drives; as the target I incorrectly selected my user folder because I thought it would create a new music folder within my user folder. I can't seem to get this fixed, if I try to redirect it again it says access denied!
This is really confusing me because it says that it is a File folder, even though it ought to be a library. Also when I open "Music", the path shown remains as "C:\Users\MyUserName". So why does it display as "Music" under "C:\Users"?!

Its no real problem, but its very annoying that my user folder is now called "Music" so help appreciated!

I would suggest moving your folders (music, documents, video, pictures) to a new folder - i.e. C:\users\<temp_user>\folder. Then rename the folder back to your user name, then move the files back. You might have to do this under another user account - Windows can get pissy when it comes to renaming folders....Make sure the user is an admin on the local machine.

Thanks for the help. Windows did get real pissy when I tried to sign back into my original account after doing the file transfer and I had to delete it because it would sign me in as a temporary user, so I'm just using the new account I made. Had to rearrange desktop and start menu and some programs had to do the first startup up but all is good now! Thanks
