[QUOTE="dathascome, post: 417999, member: 32908"] Hi there. I right clicking on my home folder and renamed it to baconbits. Then the next time I logged on all my settings were gone and the name of my home folder reverted back to its original name. I noticed in the mac HD under Users there's no a folder named baconbits along with the home folder and a shared folder. In the baconbits folder there are a bunch of other folders (Desktop, documents,Library,etc). It also has some folders (like an audio folderm for example) that my home folder doesn't have. Last thing that's different is that when I first double click on the mac hd the side bar on the left of the folder window that says Desktop, home, applications,etc is only has folder icons for documents, movies, music, pictures as opposed to the normal icons that usually show up for them. Does anyone know how I can just get it back the way it was before (aside from reinstalling the OS) ad whether or not it's bad to just delete that baconbits folder...like are there things in there that I might need? Thanks for the help and any advice would be greatly appreciated [/QUOTE]
