There is a Media folder in my Windows 11 PC which I need to rename. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it, but surely there must be. Can anyone suggest a method? No reply needed, solved.

All the options just kind of disappeared. Various methods I've tried and failed include: shell:startup ctrl+alt+del startup menu Windows Settings>Apps>Startup /ProgramData/ path to the startup folder (created one to see if it'd populate, it didn't) /AppData/ path to the startup...

I have had no contact with W10 until yesterday. A friend's HP Desktop all-in-one apparently went through the MS 'forced upgrade' to W10 some time ago, and appears to have a corrupted Users --> Default folder (especially the NTUSER.DAT file), so I have a couple of questions: 1. Can I copy that...

I was trying to make hidden files appear, but I made a huge mistake and I unfortunately don't know what I did. When I was on the properties tab inside the users folder, I checked the box where it says hidden. I accepted everything about permissions, iirc, then it started a loading window doing...

I made my C partition 100GB thinking that i wouldn't need more than that for my windows and users folder, but it turns out that most of the time i am struggling to keep the 10% needed for the windows to function properly. Now while my User folder takes 18GB which is reasonable my Windows folder...

I've tried posting this question to the MS pro forums and a couple of other places with no luck, and am getting truly desperate. At this point, I'd be happy just to know if it's something wrong with the configuration, or if this is a fundamental Win7 problem. I recently started managing a...
