I would like to hopefull rename a system folder.
I am getting divorced and one of my sytem folders ( in
Documents and Settings) has my husband's name. I right
click, click on rename, and it says it is a Windows System
Folder and can't be move or renamed, and is required for
windows to run properly.
Can I change the name of the folder in the registry?
I would like to see something instead of his name :(

Well actually that folder has his files and settings, and if he is not going
to use the computer anymore, you can delete his account altogether. Go to
Control Panel -> User Accounts
You should see his name there, and you can delete the account.
