Why can't I rename a certain user folder?

I bought this computer by a previous owner.  And his name still be on this folder of the user.  When I right click on the file to rename, Rename option is not displayed.  (Content in this folder are all my personal files). I am registered as an administrator and the single user account is the only one with my name.  Also, my computer name is listed under my name. Can someone please help me understand why Windows Vista won't let me not rename this user folder?  Thank you.

Hello

You cannot rename the user folder because you have already connected (only administrator account) and the account is currently in use.

This is normal.

  • Why can't I rename a folder?

    When I try to rename a folder newly created - after saving a file pdf (attachment Outlook inside) - I get this error message: unable to perform action because the folder or file is open in another program. I can't do seem to change it.  The file is not open in Word; Nothing in Word is open.  Nothing is open in Adobe Acrobat.  The folder I want to rename IS open. but I can't understand how to rename a file without opening it.  Other independent Win Explorer files are open.  This so-called open the folder does not appear in the Win Task Manager.  And the only file in the devinitely folder is not opened.  Should I give up and learn to love the name I tried to change?  Or is there another step I should try?  Of course, restarting the computer will certainly solve the problem.  But I wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

    Thank you.  I solved the problem of the low tech medium.  The name of the original file was pretty close to what I had so I've ignored the problem, went and did something else in Word for a while and then tried to rename the folder again.  It worked!  Explains exactly the problem, of course, but who has time to deal with weird things in Windows?

  • Why can't I rename my project?

    Hi all
    We have recently upgraded to RH6 and its version control. (I guess that version control is the reason why I can't rename my project).
    However, the technology installed RH6 put the side Server and local project on my PC and he asks questions. One is that the name of the project server matches the local copy is no longer and it seems to be confusing for other people in the office. And the second, is that I can't rename my project at all. I need to be able to rename the project at the end of each month with the current month in the name.
    UH... does make sense? If so, is - anyone can suggest a solution?

    Sounds like 'the tech installed RH6' needs to rectify this point; It does seem like an HR issue.

    In addition, if you're going to be rename project every month, why even bother with the source code control? I think you would be better served simply copy your source for folders separated for each month and get back up daily or weekly.

    Good luck

  • Why can't I delete a unwanted user account?

    In the process of setting up a new MacBook Pro today I read in the Apple Support that Apple recommends to make an account of type 'standard' in addition to my admin account for increased security.  I did, but changes his mind after deciding that it was an exaggeration to security because I work at home.

    After finding instructions for the deletion of an account, I clicked the lock and the sign of "delete" under the list of users, then loaded Sys Prefs 'remove' account (no disk image, etc.), which did not contain anything. The grey account name and "deleting account...". "appeared below.  However, the message is still there (45 min. later) and I can't get Sys Prefs, apparently because he thinks that it is still deleting the unwanted account, which he does not seem to have done, since I can always access by choosing the fast user switching and entering the password.

    How OS X to finish deleting the account and let me out Sys Prefs?  Thank you!

    If you can not stop via the Apple Menu system preferences Forse, shut down the Mac, reboot and try again.

  • Why can't I see the forum user responses that use Facebook as a way?

    When I'm on a blog like Powerlineblog.com or AZcentral.com letters to the editor who use Facebook as their messaging support, there is never any comments from the user although if I use Chrome I can see them all. I tried to disable AdBlock +, but it does not help. This started about 6-8 weeks ago.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Why can't I rename a sequence?

    OK, so I'm in the Panel project, not true?  Keep my own buiz and what I do.  I want to rename a sequence that I named instinctively "fat chick" because, well, uh, it was a bit heavy (and in a bikini).  Well, now I need to show the chick 'fat' that pays me what looks like its sequence.  So, I want to change 'Fat chick' to 'pretty lady' so she's happy.  But guess what?  I can with the button right and hit rename, but I never go further than that.  I can't rename it.  I therefore had to show him the sequence and hope that she would see only the video, not the name of the sequence.

    What's weird, is that I can rename a whole bunch of other sequences, but the other half of the time that I can't.  Oh, I can rename it if it is sitting in the timeline to another sequence... but it doesn't change that in the timeline panel.  (I posted on this before I realize it is a limitation in the first).  But it's different.  I have to rename the sequences in the project Panel, but cannot.

    Now she is all mad at me and threatening to sue becaue I hurt his feelings, blah, blah blah.  It's a disaster... all this because I couldn't change the name of the sequence.

    OK, so history is formed, but the problem of name change is true.  Is this a bug?  How can I rename the sequences when they do not want to be renamed and are perfect with the name, I gave them?

    I thought about it. You cannot change the name in the Panel of the sequence, you can change it in the project Panel that contains all your files. Go to the sequence name in the project Panel that you want to change, and then right-click and change the name. I tried to rename the sequence control panel.

  • Why can't I access My Documents & Settings folder?

    I understand from reading some of the forum messages that Documents & Settings (as well as a few other folders) are now the junction points. However, according to the instructions of a program plug-ins for Photoshop, I bought, I have to install some files in a folder which should be in the Documents & Settings. Here, specifically:

    C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings
    So since I can't enter D & S, where the devil to put these files now in order to get this program to work? I paid a little money for these plug-ins and I'll be so frustrated if I can't make them work.  How can I now in the Adobe folder which is D & S (which I can not enter) and Application data (which I can not enter in)?
    :( Help, please.

    A few ideas:

    1. find an Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings folder in a subfolder within C:\Users\\AppData .
    2. Vista having search for a folder named CameraRaw.
    3 contact Adobe support.
