If you are an administrator on the machine you can access any files as long as you can log into the machine as an administrator.\n\nNow if you have Windows XP Home edition (pro edition users skip to step 1) this gets a little tricky.... but you will first need to go into safe mode. If you have not set an administrator password on your system, by default there is none. So press F8 after your restart the machine, hitting it every few seconds (not holding it) Until a Windows Start up menu appears.... then go to that foler and do the following:\n1) Right click on the folder and select properties\n2) Go to the security tab\n3) If you do not see any usernames listed do the following steps otherwise skip to step 9\n4) Click on advanced\n5) Click on owner\n6) Click on Administrators\n7) Click on the check box for replace owner on subcontainers and objects\n8) Click OK\n9) For the groups and user names on the security tab click Add\n10) Click Advanced\n11) Click find now\n12) If administrators was not listed add administrators (click on it and say OK\n13) Make sure system is added again follow steps 9-12 for add system\n14) Add your user account which would likely be the same name as your documents and settings folder.\n15) For all of them click on the full control box under permissions for....\n16) Click advanced\n17) Click on the box for replace permissions entires on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects.\n18) Click OK to exit advanced settings\n19) Click OK to exit your folder properties\n\nNow restart and see what happens. You should be now set to access your documents and settings folder again.

You can, but it is alot more difficult in 98 then it is in xp as an administrator.\n\nyou can do it natively through the windows registry. for more information on how to do it., goto the webpage i posted below from Microsoft®. \n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];q179221#kb1\n\nThere are also external software packages that will help do it for you. What it does is basically make it more user friendly, but is doing the same thing at the end of the day.

This is a difficult one. I am going to assume that you are using XP professional and that you may be a student using a computer in a lab or some one working at a major company with large network and IT budget, or some one like a parent/sibling is trying to stop you from changing settings there in folder options.\n\nIn XP there is a program called Group policy editor and one of the things you can disable with it is the folder options menu. If the account you are logged in with is not an administrative account you might be lost already. If you are logged in with an account htat has administrative priovelages then goto START and then RUN.\n\ntype in GPEDIT.MSC. if you see a message about access denied then your'e out of luck. A setting in Group policy editor can be set to dissallow the use of group policy editor.\n\nIf you can get into group policy editor then you are moments away from that FOLDER OPTIONS menu.\n\nGo into GPEDIT using the instructions above (Start > run etc)\n\nExpand user configuration by click on the + sign next to it(if it's a minus just leave it). Now expand ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES and the Expand WINDOWS COMPONENTS and the WINDOWS EXPLORER. click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER folder. See there are many settings.\n\nRIGHT click on REMOVES THE FOLDER OPTIONS MENU ITEM FROM THE TOOLS MENU and select PROPERTIES.\n\nClick the option box DISABLED and then click APPLY(just in case) and then OK.then goto FILE and EXIT. Restart your PC and it should be there.

It depends on the complexity of the rename operation you wich to do.\n\nTypically, the mv command is used for renaming, but it is not well suited for batch renames.\n\nMost Linux systems now have a newer command called "rename," however its syntax can be complicated.\n\nThe rename command takes three arguements, from, to, and a list of files upon which the rename is to be applied.\n\nFor instance:\n\nrename .JPG .jpg *.JPG \n\nwill change all files ending in a .JPG extension to a .jpg extension.

You can't rename a folder index.html\nIndex is the reserved name for home pages, it will not allow a folder to be this name, because when you open up your page it will look to load index.html and if thats a folder and not a usable file then the page will not load.  I would suggest naming the folder something different, perhaps HOME or something like that.  Hope this info helps.  Best Wishes :-)

you have to create a new user account.  that folder is named after the login name in xp.  you may be able to modify your account name but I've never tried and not sure that would work.

When you right click on a file and then drag it on to any other location, windows gives you options to "Move", "Copy", "Create Shortcuts" to the new location or "Cancel" the operation. \n\nTry it!

This question is only asked 439 times a week! What is this obsession with wanting to create a folder named con? WINDOWS DOESNT ALLOW THIS AS CON IS A WINDOWS COMMAND AND IF YOU COULD, YOU WOULD RENDER YOUR PC UNUSEABLE! Its bad enough that 99.5 percent of users are absolutely computer illiterate, beat and blame their poor PCS when they are the fault of 99 percent of their own PC problems!\nI wish they all COULD do this! We wouldnt have half of these dumasses on the net!

Sort of, a filename is limited to 256 characters there is a limit to how many different filenames you cancreate with 256 characters. I don't think you should have a problem though.
