I somehow managed to rename the libraries as well as the 'Favorites' about half a year ago. I don't recall how, but remember that it took a lot of trial and error. It worked perfectly and consistently in the start menu and the window manager. Now, with the latest update (13 important) it all...

It seems whoosh, our long term comedy master and computer expert, is on a The Beatles kick. Here are some favorites: :shades_smile::shades_smile:

Hi, Using Windows 7. Go to start Username "Joe". My User folder "Joe" is a subgroup of Libraries. I think the folder organization is messed up and probably the reason I can't get MediaCenter to work. Also My Documents data is found under Desktop/Libraries/Documents and also under Desktop/Joe...

I hopelessly crashed my computer. I was trying to install the Windows 8 Preview and it did exactly what I was afraid it would do. It started overwriting my Windows installation without asking me where I wanted to install it. The Windows 8 install failed, so I tried the rollback option and...
