Thanks nruddock. It isn't going to be a matter of simply renaming the folder since my entire 'Documents and Settings' folders are now located in this 'FLEXlm' folder. I wish it could be that easy... sigh

Thanks ghelmer. The programs I use have all been installed ages ago and I have not installed any new programs.

Thanks gezinorgiva:
"Flex LM normally installs to C:FlexLM and would only contain license files for software that uses the FlexLM license manager eg Alias."
-->I have not installed any new programs. The only thing I have installed recently is a couple of products from Daz.

"Take every thing out of the FlexLM folder that should not be there."
-->Uggg... I have over 53GB of stuff in my 'Documents and Settings' folders and the hard drive is almost totally used up - only a few gig of room left over. I won't be able to simply copy and paste the folder back to it's original location now, so I am at a loss.

"It is better to have your My Documents sitting by itself on C: and not in any other folder."
-->Totally agree. In fact, I was under the impression that moving the 'Documents and Settings' folder at all is a big no-no.

[I suppose I should have mentioned that I am not referring to the regular 'My Documents' folder. I am using windows 2000 professional and I am the administrator so to get to my 'Documents' folder, I have to go to the 'C' drive. Then choose the 'Documents and Settings' folder (which is now in that darned Flexim folder), then on to my User folder, then to the 'My Documents' folder - whew! That was a lot of info! :-)

I do hope I am not confusing anyone with the way I am explaining this - appologies if I am...
