Accidentally renamed Users folder to Downloads--Please help!
Hello all,
I know this has been discussed a few times before, in tenforums.com and also in sevenforums.com, but I promise this is different from those times.
I've done a search and looked through quite a few different solutions, but I just can't seem to find an answer that helps me solve this problem:
So I just recently installed my SSD and I was in the process of changing the location of my Downloads folder from my new SSD drive, to my 1TB HHD, so as to save space. I then changed my mind and wanted to keep the Downloads folder on the SSD drive, so I went to change it back by going into the "Location" tab under Properties and moving it back to the SSD drive.
Bad idea, because now my Users folder has been renamed Downloads and I can't change the name of the folder anymore. I've tried solution #147545 from the sevenforums.com but that didn't work for me.
It's weird because when I look at the folder with a different User account logged in, it shows up like it should with my original user name. So it's only different when I'm logged in as the original user looking at the folder, because I see it as Downloads.
Now if I right-click and select properties, under the "Sharing" tab, it shows that it's perfectly fine and not named Downloads. Also under the "Security" tab, the Object name shows up perfectly fine as well and is not named Downloads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you guys in advance.
