I must have misspelled an entry somewhere in windows, on my boot drive under users I have a folder with a misspelled word but it does not give me the option of correcting it which leads me to believe I must have done it during windows install anyone have any ideas?

If its settings folder for some software, you need to close that software or even reinstall it. Then there are folders containing files which Windows claims some software is using. Only way to deal with those is to boot into Safe Mode.

Ok for those who want to know I've been reading up apparently this is a windows thing to shorten directory paths and is not a misspelling during install apparently there were some issues regarding the length of said directories so windows arbitrarily shortens it as they see fit.
