Rename the folder to the user files

In Vista, I can't rename a folder of the user.  This computer used to be used by someone else, and I can't rename the folder so everything I do Gets the tag with his name on it.  I changed the name of the computer and log in name.  Can I change any other user except this one folder.  Any ideas how to rename this folder?

It sounds like a problem with permissions for me (he does not resemble a corrupted profile) - you try to use its files under your user name and the system wants as his user name.  The solution is to give your full user name to all records in his profile and then to take possession of all the files in the profile - then you will have the rights you need.

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).  This should also give you access to open and work with all of the files in these filders, as if they were in your file.  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/.

You can also create a folder in your profile named username of the other person and move the files in this folder.  He needs to pick up the permissions and attributes of the new folder (YOUR user profile folder) and you won't need to go to his profile whenever you want to get one of his records.  You may still need to change the permissions and/or ownership if you do this - it would be just to make things easier and quicker to access.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Our server (SBS 2003) crashed and I had to rebuild it and then I had to join a laptop in our area and now all the files for this person is missing.  We use the option synchronize folders when this person was missing and now I wonder where all these files are gone?

    We had no backups (I know, I know) so now we have a couple of people who have lost all their data.  Is there a way to make it back the computer joined to the domain?  Some kind of folder offline connection or cache somewhere?  I checked the documents and Settings folder, but the user profiles 'My Documents' is empty.

  • vCenter Server - rename the config files and moving datastore

    Our vCenter VMware Server (4.1.0) is a virtual machine. The vCenter Server database is stored on a SQL Server that is also a virtual machine. The configuration files for the server vCenter and file a vmdk are located on a data store and the other vmdk file is located on another data store. This isn't a problem, but the parent folders that store these files have different names and do not reflect the name of the vCenter Server VM. Also the names of configuration files are different for the vmdk file names. I would like to move and rename files vmdk my vCenter Server to another data store and all the configuration files so that the parent folder that stores all the files has the same name as my vCenter Server VM and all of the files in the folder are on behalf of my vCenter Server VM.

    What would be the best way to do this? Can I install the stand-alone converter on the vcenter Server and migrate the server? I have a vCenter Server Standard license. Thank you.

    as above, use storage vmotion if possible else, you can use vmware converter...

  • Cannot rename the RPD files

    Hello

    I want to replace the file RPD development with RPD production record. Here's what I did:

    1 make a copy of the current production RPD by clicking on "copy as" in the Administration of BI (repository).
    2 moved the copy to the folder of repository development.
    3 rename/remove current file from RPD. This is where I came across the problem. I always get 'cann't delete/rename, the program is used by somesone or program...'.

    I have to be BI admin to rename/delete the RPD? Nobody used the repository at the time.

    Thank you.

    Stop BI servers, servers of presentation, OC4J or application servers and then do it. It will work!

  • No Internet access after you have copied the user files on.

    I created a new user account and copied all the files including documents and settings from an old user account.  Before I did I unhid all hidden files and system files.  What I was expecting, it was the new user account should behave exactly like the old user account without problem outside the difference between user account names.

    However, after doing this I couldn't Internet new user even account I could ping all web Internet sites I've tried.  Finally, I have to create another user account and copy only the document and manually I have to redo all the personal settings.

    If the problems were gone.  However, I would like to know if it is a problem to copy personal settings.  What is the most efficient and effective way to transfer the account from one to the other?

    Hello

    Did you remove the following files on the new account?

    • Ntuser.dat
    • Ntuser.dat.log
    • Ntuser.ini

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151/en-GB

    The link above shows how to copy a profile, however as far as the most effective way of copying, it depends on what you want, that is to say some parameters can be set for all users of the computer local strategies etc. If you want documents available to all users, use an all the "users share" with the permissions to prevent some accounts, editing files. This may or may not be what you want to achieve.

    Please confirm what data/files/personal etc settings you want to duplicate to the new user accounts, and state what - this time when creating or on an ongoing basis.

    1st thing to try is the system in safe mode restore to before the problem

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  • How to rename the JAD file to eclipse MIDlet name

    Hi, expert,

    at the present time, our product team asks me to change the product name of the name of one to the other, I changed the title in the properties of the eclipse project and thought that's it. Cod file name was still the same as before.

    Then I discovered that I was wrong. The name options-> list of applications is still the old name. Then I change the COD file name (the name of the JAD file is also modified with it) and thought that I would be ok this time.

    I was denied again. The name on the download of air link always displays the old name and found out that the JAD stll MIDlet-name file has the old name and browser would use this name. Options-> application list, it still shows the old name. So I have to change the name of the MIDlet-name for the new name. However, I couldn't find a way. on the descriptor xml project, there is a tag called MainMIDletName, I changed to the new name:

    However it does not seem to help as well. After research, I found this link, but it does not say exactly how do without changing the name of the project that I really don't want to do:
    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/how-to-rename-JAD-in-JDE-Eclipse-without-ren...

    I have a few choice here? Any help would be appreicated.

    Hello

    To have the "MIDlet-Name" of the renowned JAD property, you will need to rename the project. Output file names can be changed via the BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml > Build (tab) > name of the output file (field).

  • Is there a way I can rename a shortcut of jumplist IE in a local file without renaming the acutal file?

    "I would like to create a shortcut Internet Explorer jumplist to the next file -"C:\temp\Sharepoint Doc\index.html"but I want the shortcut Jumplist should appear" documents "Sharepoint". ""  I've tried everything I can think of, but it still appears in the jumplist IE under the name "index.html".

    Things that I have tried-
    1. simply dragging "C:\temp\Sharepoint Doc\index.html" to the IE icon in the taskbar to pin them in Internet Explorer.  Of course everything presents itself as "index.html".
    2. create a shortcut of "C:\temp\Sharepoint Doc\index.html" on the desktop.  "Rename the shortcut to" documents "Sharepoint"and then drag it to the icon of IE in order to pin.  Yet once, stands as "index.html" even if it is the shortcut I did drag the icon.
    No matter what I try, I can't rename the shortcut jumplist without change of name "index.html" itself to what I want.  This seems odd, since the jumplist element should be shortened.  It seems to work very well if it is a shortcut to a url on the internet.  Can I change the name of the shortcut all I want but shortcuts to local files do not seem to work the same.

    Hello

    The method you're trying to do is not normally possible as the jumplist shortened specifically to this file name. However, you can check the links to see if this might help you.

  • Erase the name on the user files after

    I have a laptop with windows 7 installed second hand. After getting it, I immediately deleted this users account in Control Panel our association and created my own but now their name appears before the name of the file and the label of the user such as Maggie/Robert. I have tried everything I can think off except completely wipping summer car.

    They easiest way to solve this problem is to create a new account of a user with administrator privileges.

    You cannot delete the name.

    When you have set up the way you want to and copied the data files you want, you can delete the old user.
