    Ho there fellers.

    I'm currently working on a chinese computer (long story) and I am trying to install quicktime. However, whenever i try the installation cancels saying that there is an invalid character in the path name. That invalid character is no doubt whatever the chinese for desktop is, but I can't seem to find any way to rename the desktop and I've been searching around regedit for hours. Any pointers?

    Thanks

    Dan

    Have a look at folder redirection. You can move the desktop to another folder on the machine.

    Could you give me directons to the folder redirection? Though I recognise most of the stuff, it's still hard when everything is in chinese.

    look at command prompt environment variables

    start - run - cmd
    SET
    SET u

    eg: the desktop is
    %userprofile%\desktop

    but I suspect you may also have problems with
    %programfiles% n' stuff.
