Illegal Character

[Bill Allen, S.E.]

I'm not sure if this is a FrontPage question or a Windows XP question.

I recently reloaded my computer due to a file error in the OS. I don't
recall the original setup, but I installed with a user name of "Bill Allen".
A system folder was then subsequently created named "Bill Allen's
Documents". I have my websites in the "My Webs" subdirectory.

When I tried to open a web, I got a "Illegal Character" error. I suspect the
illegal character is the apostrophy in "Bill Allen's Documents".

How do I get around this other than putting the "My Webs" directory
somewhere else (I want to back up My Documents)?

TIA,

Bill Allen

Have you tried renaming the folder?

 

[Bill Allen, S.E.]

Yes. That was the first thing I tried. I got an error message that this was
a protected Windows folder and could not be renamed.

Have you tried renaming the folder?
