  1. Can file changes result in the C: Drive changing name?


    A couple of months ago I swore the drive on my laptop was something called ''Local Disk C:'' along those lines, however now I've seen It's called ''Windows-SSD C:''.Nothing malicious has happened after noticing this so I don't see a reason to panic, though may I ask what could've caused this? Updates? Driver changes? Errors? What else?

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    How about TPU_Moms_Rule.

    Just a suggestion *Smile Can file changes result in the C: Drive changing name? :)

    I agree with most people. Mod assisted name changes only.

  4. Can file changes result in the C: Drive changing name?

    Changing file name changes the folder name AND cannot find the folder


    Two odd things are happen to my files:

    1. Changing only the file name in explorer changes the folder name
    2. I cannot locate the directory (possibly a library)

    Here's what is happening in explorer:

    I search for the text OLD, the results come up: file=IMG_3654.JPG folder path= c:\users\jose\photos old\

    So I know the folder exists, but it does not appear in explorer within c:\users\jose\

    Then, I change the file name in explorer to IMG_3654XXX.JPG and the folder name changes to c:\users\jose\pictures\holiday (this folder can be seen).

    Is this something to do with libraries? Under libraries, the name photos old is NOT listed.
