Is there any way to change the name of system folders in Windows XP?
Specifically, the "Shared Documents" folder. I have a laptop that
somehow has the name as "Documents", while my other computers have the
name as "Shared Documents". (All Windows XP.)

Thanks, jimbo

Hi,

1) You can't change the name of system folders.

2) The Shared doc's folder is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
