Re: Can't rename... "Folder does not exist"

Hello Toon Dog

Sounds like the registry keys aren't pointing in the correct direction. When you try to rename the folder it doesn't recognise it cause its searching in the wrong area for the original version of the folder. Crazy i know

There is a registry fix

1. Open Start\Run, type Regedit
2. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters

Note If the Parameters subkey does not exist, create it. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc
b. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
c. Type Parameters, and then press ENTER.

3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type FormatDatabase, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
6. Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

If that doesn't work try this Reg Folder Fix

1. Download and unzip
2. Double click and select ok to add to registry
3. Reboot and try to rename the desktop folder

and finally if that deosnt work

1. Download the KB938979 update
2. Reboot

regards
