[QUOTE="dadsgravy, post: 327276, member: 19086"] I did this samething in december. I changed my home folder(in the finder window) from steve strain into dadsgravy. It made two users in the same account and pretty much split everything in two. When I tried to move everything back to the steve strain folder, it made everything worse. It pretty much turned osx into a well shuffled deck of cards. A lot of my itunes music just disappeared. I really couldn't explain what happened. The whole computer went ballistic just from changing my name. The only solution I found was to re-install tiger and start over with a new computer. I know this doesn't help your problem, I just thought i'd let you know that your not alone. And on another note, I am new to mac, but I am far from being computer illiterate. In my opinion, i think that this is a serious flaw in osx. You should be able to change the name of your home folder, with in finder, without osx going postal. [/QUOTE]
