Renaming System Folder "Shared Documents"

O

Ozzy Osbourne

Some how my "Shared Documents" folder has been renamed.
The new name of the folder is "Documents" without
the "Shared". I'm unable to rename or delete this folder
as I get a message saying that this is a system directory
and can't be changed. This seems so silly. This has to
be easy I'm just missing it. I'm logged in as myself
with administrative rights. What am I doing wrong?
Sharon!

Hi
Whoever you are Ozzy, Sharon, Jack you must decide yourself once:))
Regarding your point, I observed the same after changing the location
and names of the MyDocuments of the real user accounts. After that the
MyDocuments of the AllUsers account (=that's Shared Documents) is only
shown as Documents.
I didn't try, but it maybe worth going to C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\My Documents and try changing it there. On my PC
its named there just Documents too, with the shared icon.
I believe to remember, that initially this folder was also shown in
the root (Desktop) directoy list, just like MyDocuments. At least here
on my system it's gone, its listed with all other %UserName%
MyDocuments under Workplace.
