I am trying to rename a directory in windows through the recovery console as
windows won't start without and it has been renamed with a 1 at the end.

Whenever I do this I get the message access denied and have seen in this
newsgroup that you have to set Allowallpaths = true

But also there is something about allowing in security policy first and
going into control panel to do this, but how can you do this if you can't get
into windows at all.
 
You could remove the drive from your system and mount it as a slave drive in
another system using either Windows 2000 or XP.

As an alternative, you could also mount it in a USB drive enclosure and access
it on another system.

Another alternative would be query some of your associates and see if they have
a BartPE or Ultimate Boot CD that you can borrow. These tools can be used to
bootup in your existing system with full access to all files and folders.

Both of the above tools can be made by you if you have access to another Win2K
or WinXP computer that has a CD burner. Post back if you're interested and I'll
supply some links.
