Note: For diagnosis purposes I'm referring to Program Files in our language as being "Programs".
So far I haven't come across anything useful, so I'm hoping someone may point me in the right direction.
A relative of mine came to me complaining issues with Windows 7. I had installed Chromium recently in this relative's computer, and I saved the program in Program Files.
Considering that my relative does not use the English version of Windows, Program Files is worded differently, obviously.
I had created different Chromium profiles (under "Programs"), one of them containing letters that are not part of the English vocabulary.
When running one of the Chromium shortcuts I had placed at the Desktop, my relative noticed an error saying the path did not exist. It did and it does exist, though.
Apparently, when creating a folder under "Programs", my relative made a mistake and created another "Programs" folder under C:\.
Windows automatically protected the main "Programs", making it now be Program Files. So, now Windows only accepts English words*. What used to be "Programs" is now Program Files.
* Or better yet, only accepts English letters.
If I go to C:\, I see the folder "Programs", but Windows does no longer recognize it as such. Windows recognizes it as Program Files.
Does anyone have a clue of how to make it accept our language again?
I verified the keyboard language and all that, and it's our language.
