CHANGE FOLDER NAME

I read where someone else has this problem.

I ran into some cases where I couldn't change the name

and I had to close the folder to do or something like.

Or if its an official file from Apple.

All of a sudden I can't change any folder, I am trying to do.

Went to finder you click new folder.  Tried to name it, nothing.

Next step for me is to turn off my computer, and then restart.

Sometimes it helps.  Any ideas?

What happens if you do a right click on it and choose Rename from the context menu?

    You can try with scriptlistener to record the code. Change to the last line of the NO to ALL dialog boxes, so that the dialog - if you wish. There are two places in the code to save the files: one where is actually saved the file, and the other where the default value is file. I have seen it changed something with it. So, you can simply use the first listing of a path in the code below.

    I have this computer to a colleague after he left the company and it does not clear the HD.  There a few folders of files in drive C under users where the user files folder is not changed her name to mine although I am now the administrator and the only user of the system, and I can't remove.  name confusion is causing problems with files I send because the files are still listed under the old username.  To change or modify the name of the file please help me >

    With a used computer, regardless of its origin, recommended is to do a restore clean Windows install/plant. If you don't want to do (not recommended), to appropriate folders and then you will be able to remove them.

    Check the permissions of the file or folder the file is saved in and appropriated:
          
    1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab.
    3. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

    To open a file, you must have the read permission. For more information about permissions, see what are permissions?

    To take ownership of a folder:

    1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
    5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
    6. click on OK

  • Error changing folder names.

    Need help to be able to change the names of the folder other than the new folder 1, 2, 3 etc.

    It is probably a permissions problem.  You can do anything with these files (move them, copy, paste,...)-if so, maybe the permissions, but rather a corruption of file system that must be dealt with another way - post back if this is the case (but you can try these options anyway to see if they work - they could).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Changed the name of a bookmark in a folder, now when I try to open the file, it tries to open every bookmark in the file.

    I have a folder of bookmarks in the toolbar. I changed the name of one of the bookmarks in that folder. The next time I tried to open the file, I had (and continue to receive) a message saying that I'm about to open 47 tabs, and this can slow down the firefox. I have only to open the file, not each bookmark in it and does not know how to get it by allowing me to do.

    That only happens if you click on this button to folder in the bookmarks toolbar, or you cannot open this folder in the sidebar (Ctrl + B) or the bookmarks menu as well?

  • Name of the user change folder

    How can I change the name of the folder of the user?

    I have the MacBook Pro (retina, 13-inch, early 2015) + OS X EL Capitan + a user (Administrator)

    You will need to change your username.  Go to Preferences system-> users and groups.  Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your administrator password.  Right click on your account name on the left side of the pane.  Select 'Advanced Options '.

    Where it says "Account name", you'd change it to what you want it to be.

  • How can I change the bookmark/folder names?

    How can I change the name of a bookmark or folder. Focused on aid, I see not a response to this specific problem.

    1. Select bookmarks > organize bookmarks.
    2. In the library window, select the bookmark or folder to rename.
    3. In the name box, change the name of the element. The change takes effect as soon as you click anywhere else.
    4. Close the library window

    Another way to do is with the bookmarks bar:

    1. Choose view > sidebar > bookmarks.
    2. Right click on the bookmark or folder to rename, and then click Properties.
    3. In the name box, change the name of the element.
    4. Click Save.

  • Change of name for the system folder

    I want to change the name of the folder owners precedent (in Documents and Settings), 'Bill', 'Sarah' (this computer was given to my daughter).  I get a message, "Bill is a Windows system folder...". It cannot be moved or renamed. ' Really?  Is it not there not simply changed the name of this folder?

    Instead of changing the name of the file:

    1. Create a new user account named "Sarah".
    2. Copy (s) desired documents, photos, music and other files from the account of the Bill of Sarah.
    3. Remove the account from the Bill.
