Hello!
I have a problem with Toxik. It wont start because it cant handle non english characters contained in the userprofile variable I have inside C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE%\Application Data path. 
I need help to change the name of my userprofile folder, and changing my %USERPROFILE% variable to match the change. How can I do that and how can I make sure that all my other applications will continue to work?
Just renaming my profile in Control Panel > User Accounts doesn't help.
I've also tried changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folder\AppData reg key . but that doesnt help either probably because the stupid app uses the %USERPROFILE% "variable" anyway.
Any ideas? 
Thank you for your time in advance!
