The folder was created by Visual Studio 10 (which I run as administrator -- I think this is why I have the problem). I have not tried the permanent solution (net user administrator) yet because that requires a reboot and I am too impatient for that. What I did do was run command prompt as administrator and execute the old dos command: rename oldname newname. It liked that. I kept getting this message attempting to rename a folder.
