Solved Accidentally renamed user folder!

[abw1]

Hi,

In trying to move my Downloads folder I seem to have accidentally renamed my User folder 'Downloads'. It only appears like this in my area when I look in Windows Explorer. Other users still see it as its original name. (See attached screen shot.) It also has a picture of a lock and a blue arrow in the icon which the other user accounts don't have.

Grateful for any advice on how to sort this out!

Hello Abw, and welcome to Seven Forums.

What happens when you right click on the user profile folder to rename it back to the orignal user name?

Here's a copy of your screenshot for others to see:
