User Folder Renamed

It is totally unclear what you did and how. The fact is that Windows will not let you rename your profile folder while you are logged on. The only way goes like this. Note that this is is an unsupported operation that could cause serious problems:

1. Log on under a different account, one that has admin privileges.
2. Rename the folder C:\Users\Nath to C:\Users\Nathan
3. Adjust certain keys in the registry to reflect the change.

Now please report exactly what you did.
