Hello, my admin name is Mike and lets say my file path name is C:\Users\Mike\AppData and I want to change the name Mike to Chad which is easy but my file path still stays C:\Users\Mike\AppData how do I get it to change to C:\Users\Chad\AppData.
Thanks,

While it puts moving to a different drive as an example, it perfectly applies to simply renaming the folder on the same location.
It can be a little complicated, but here's a run through of what you're asking for.
