With your first one Ted, it sounds like something is using or holding onto a file (for files) on that removable drive. I would suggest booting into safe mode, closing down all running apps and try then. You can't rename folders that are part of account profiles. That's by design in NT/2k/XP. The simplest way is to create a new profile with the name you want and copy everything over that to that profile... but be warned, this can get messy.

Hi, All. I posted the following two questions to this list last week and have had no reply. Would some-one please tell me who else I could ask. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have partitioned and labelled two partitions on my HD as "System" and "Storage", but cannot label my removable HD. (I want to name it: Backups). Why is this? I have tried also with partition magic, but it comes up with "Can't Lock Drive. Error #27. I have Windows XP Home and the system won't allow me to rename "user" in C:\Documents and Settings\ user to "Ted". Is there any other way I can do this? Many thanks, Ted. -------- ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm
