i try to rename folder "Vaio" at c:\documnets and settings to match my
user
account name but i cant.
it says its a system folder and cannot be renamed.
any way to get rid of this incongruity?


thanks

I suspect that you're trying to rename your own profile
folder. You cannot do this while you're logged on. There
is a way to do it while you're logged on under a different
account but I do not recommend it - it can easily go wrong.
Leave it as it is - it's not causing any problems.
