Rename or relocate essential system folders
You can rename system folders, but I don't recommend this unless the names of these particular folders absolutely drive you up a tree. Also, just remember that none of these folders should ever be deleted! To change the name or even change the locations of some of these essential folders, run REGEDIT and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Shell Folders, then edit the data of your choice.

WARNING!! This is a REGISTRY HACK! And as such, you MUST FIRST make a backup of your Registry so that you can recover from any mistakes you might make. The Registry is a very unforgiving place if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. An incorrect Registry entry can render your entire system INOPERABLE. DO NOT attempt to change Registry settings without a Backup. Don't say we didn't warn you...

The Configuration Backup Utility is one of the CD-Extras, so if you don't have the CD-ROM version of Windows 95, CLICK HERE to download it now.
