Renamed my user folder somehow?

Hi everyone, lately I have built my first new rig and somehow changed my username folder to 'My Documents'. Initially it was named Jack and I was changing the directories of different folders such as My Documents and Downloads to my 1TB hard drive rather than my SSD. I did this through changing the default directory in the properties, location window for each folders. I had changed my mind on moving the 'My Documents' folder and decided I would move it back to my C:\Users\Jack\ folder on my SSD but rather than writing C:\Users\Jack\My Documents, I wrote C:\Users\Jack (or something like this, can't actually remember what I wrote here) and have now changed my Username folder in the Users folder to 'My Documents." (Sounds stupid, right?) Anyway I figured out that the directory of my username folder is still C:\Users\Jack\ somehow and have changed the directory of my default 'My Documents' correctly so that's all fine but my User folder is still named 'My Documents' and can not be changed in the properties window. All help is greatly appreciated!

Download Yamicsoft Windows 7/8 manager, go to security tab-files and folders-move system folders and do whatever you want with them. The software has a 15 days trial but fully functional until then. You can uninstall it  when you don;t need it anymore without afecting those changes you made.

dont rename your main folders as windows needs them, because there set locations in the paths list(where windows looks first to exe files. if the paths became invalid windows will get lost trying to find files and you get borkage messages.

 

it is just a case of renaming them back to there original title.

 

if you like yamicsofts win7 manager then buy a copy. its very good and worth the asking price.

not only will it help you sort your current problem it will open a world of modding windows. has a really good reg cleaner as well as doing a very good job of optomizing windows. 

i have been using it myself for about 2 years and it still hasnt become bloat ware like tuneup utils.
