[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 330415, member: 17895"] So do you now have 2 user folders, one with your stuff and one without? The easiest way to fix it is like this (assume my username is 'cazabam' but I decided to change it to 'monkey'. OS X automatically created a new, empty 'cazabam' folder): *Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) *type `cd /Users` and press <enter> *type `mv cazabam cazabam.old` and press <enter> *type `mv monkey cazabam` and press <enter> Log out and log back in and all should be well.
