    Renamed C:\Windows


    In my user folder, I think I right-clicked the Favorites folder and changed the location to C:\ in an attempt to get rid of it. Now it seems my C:\Windows folder has renamed itself to Favorites.

    I've tried following the How to Restore the Default Location of Windows 7 User Folders guide but it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
