Start Menu Folder Renaming Problem

Hi There...

I'm trying to rename a folder called 'New Games' to 'Games' on my Start menu, but I keep getting the following error message;

"Cannot rename New Games: A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different file name."

Only problem is that there isn't a file called 'Games'!

I've looked in;

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\Bablos\Start Menu\Programs

Nothing called 'Games' at all.

Anyone know what the problem is? What I'm doing wrong?

Hope someone can help!

XP makes a folder called games. If you can't see it then something must have happened to it. Try going one more folder in to here Start\Programs\Accessories I think. I move mine around & can't remember the default for the games folder. Make a games folder there then move it to where you want. Who knows it might cooperate.
 
Hi There...

Nope, no such luck - if I create the folder elsewhere, then try to move it in, it just says that a folder called 'Games' already exists.

But it doesn't! Help! How can I stop it doing this?

Hi There...

Considering I only built this machine at the weekend, I'm not about to reinstall the OS just so that I can rename a single folder.

There must be a way to solve this.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
