Oh, so they're not user profile folders? In that case yes, you should be able to change the folder names.

I'm not a coder, so I'm not sure how you'd do it though. I know, not a lot of help! :-)

I imported a load of SharePoint data from a backup and ended up with a folder structure based on site names which are first initial and surname.

eg
mreid
rreid
ereid

I need to loop over that structure and change the folder name to m reid, r reid etc

first letter space then surname

I don't think so, unless you changed your username. Although AFAIK you can't have a space in a username... You could use an underscore, I suppose... M_Reid...

IS it possible to rename a set of windows folders e.g.

folder name: mreid

new folder name: M Reid

There are a number of folders in the directory
