So I am accidentally moved my downloads folder as the User directory. I was able to reverse this change and get the downloads folder to be within the User directory.
However, I am left with a problem, in explorer, the User directory (Fishsticks in the cmd window) has been left labeled as Downloads. I am wondering if there is anyway, by changing registry values or otherwise, to relabel the folder so that it appears with the write name in explorer.

I am aware that it is not possible to rename the folder, I just want it to appear with the right name.
Edit or delete the hidden desktop.ini file in c:\Users\yourusername\, specifically the line that starts with LocalizedResourceName= needs to be removed.

Normally is when a file named with your username is created. You need just to delete it and it'll be ok. It is located in your Users folder. Follow one of these links if you don't find its location: first link and second link.

When I copy a file from one location to the other with the destination keep the original permissions or will it take the copied files permissions?
By default, an object inherits permissions from its parent object, either at the time of creation or when it is copied or moved to its parent folder. The only exception to this rule occurs when you move an object to a different folder on the same volume. In this case, the original permissions are retained.

I do not know if this is possible (I suspect that it isn't), but can you change the default program for a file type for only a specific folder and the folder's sub-folders in Windows 7?
What I am trying to do is set the html files in a specific folder to open in Notepad++ by default, and everywhere else, open in Chrome (which is the current default).
I do know how to change the global default program for a file extension, but that is not what I am trying to do in this case.
Thank you in advance.
In a word: Impossible
The registry cant be customised for an individual folder it is all or nothing.

I am trying to install a ClickOnce application and it is not working. I am told to delete the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0 folder. However I do not even have a C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps folder. I have tried just creating a folder named 'Apps' there and then starting the application but I still get the same error.
Why does my computer not have a C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps folder?
You probably need to check "C:\Users\Nate\AppData\Roaming" and not "Local". You can see your appdata folder by typing "%appdata% in start -> run.
This is a hidden folder. Make sure that you have set your folder options to show all hidden folders, otherwise you will not see it.

I have a situation here.
I want to hide a folder from a specific user in Windows Seven.
This is not just a simple hide. I want to hide the folder from other 'Standard Users' (not administrator) logging into the system in such a way that they don't even know the existence of the folder.
I found that if a folder is hidden by administrator, then if the standard user enables 'Show hidden files and folders', the folder becomes visible. Well, they cannot access the contents due to permissions, that is fine.
But what I want is even if the standard user enables 'Show hidden files and folders' windows will not show the hidden folder to them. I want the folder to be seen by administrator only.
This does not necessarily mean that I have to 'hide' it.
I want to setup something which will allow only the administrator to know that the folder exists.
Is this at all possible?
If its possible please share the knowledge on how it is possible.
Thanks in advance.
