Cant find why its not worked but I have found an .exe that says it can do it.

Click on Win XP Utilities on the left and then click on Change Owner and Organization under Title.

Download and run the exe file.

Hopefully that will sort it out.

Hi Sandra,
I Have ran the exe file and the correct name etc was already in there? this is really strange I have tried again changing the the name of the folder and it just wont let me do it I think I will just have to live with Kan folder!  I also used this on my laptop Rik gave me another web site and it didn't work on my laptop either?

Cheers

Creating a new user then deleting the old one should sort the folder out, Kaz.

I notice that file is dated 06/02/2002, so maybe something in the subsequent service packs have stopped it from working?   :-\
