i have just had my computer back from a repair and the manufacturar has put me down as C:\Documents and Settings\Mr. A ???????.So when i download things they get to be put intoC:\Documents and Settings\Mr. A ??????\Desktop\.How do i change my name in this folder to just "Andrew".I went through the registry and changed all item concerning my surname to andrew and that totally screwed up my system that i had to do a restore.Its not a big problem its just i would rather have it set up the way i want to.

Can it be done

Thanks

Create a new administrative user called Andrew, and login as him. Take ownership of all files in the Mr. A ??????? folders you want keeping and copy them to your new Andrew folders. Delete the user Mr. A ???????.

You will very likely need to turn off simple file sharing to do it.

Thanks for that is there anyway you can tell me how to take control of the contents of that folder as i have now created an account called andrew as admin and want to take control of all the others in Mr A ?????

thanks

I'll give that a go but to make sure i will do a system restore before i do.

Cheers
