Log out and press Alt+Ctrl+F7 to switch back to GUI. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

In the command line type

cd /home

then type

to see a list of the folders there.

Then type

mv oldfilename newfilename

if it gives you any permission denied messages after any of those, type sudo before the command.
