[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 397369, member: 2960"] Locate the User's folder on your hard disk and open it. Select the home folder with the original short user name and the home icon. This folder usually contains a Desktop folder and a Library folder. Add "_new" to the end of the name so that you can distinguish it later. Select the regular folder that has the name you used when you changed your original home folder. This folder should contain items you would expect to find in your original home folder, such as your Pictures folder, Documents folder, and so on. Change the name of this folder back to the original short user name. Log out, then log in again and verify that items are back where they belong.
