Brad

Any help would be appreciated. Most of these help groups
are great. Problem: My Document always reads "Brad &
Lindy" whenever I try to "Save".. I want to remove
the "Lindy" since she is no longer around but when I try
to "Rename" it, Windows says it is a system file and can't
be renamed or moved. I know there is a way to change the
name but haven't found it.. Someone PLEEZE!

It sounds like you have a User Profile set up with the name "Brad & Lindy".

Open Control Panel/Users and look at the acount names there. If the account
is called Brad and Lindy, this is the reason why you cannot change the user
names on those folders.

You can create another account called Brad, copy the contents of the Brad
and Lindy account to this new account and then delete the Brad and Lindy
account including all of the associated files.

See the following article for the step by step procedure.
