[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1819438, member: 396914"] If he puts the name back to what it was, some problems may go away and some new ones appear. When I did that, the things I had used/installed, etc., during the new name period got broken when the original name was returned. But those were easier to fix than all the other issues from changing the name in the first place. As for moving the OP's files and stuff, the best way is to copy to Shared folders, and then from there to his new account. That won't fix the permissions, but it will at least allow him to copy them. Once they are in location on the new account, he can right-click on the highest folder, Get Info, unlock it, and change permissions and apply to all subfolders. That will fix the permissions for him.
