I cannot find a newsgroup that answers Windows 7 questions. If there is a
newsgroup for Windows 7, can you please tell me the name?

We are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. We have a fileserver
(running Server 2003 SP2) where our users' documents are stored. We
configure the user's folder with their last name, such as Smith. After we
complete the configuration of the Windows 7 computer, I notice that the
folder name on our fileserver has changed, say to Jones, but the share name
is still Smith. So I have multiple folders on our fileserver with the
folder name of Jones. I have noticed this issue on all of our Windows 7
users.

Do you know how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help.

There are no Win7 newsgroups, only forums:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

MS is planning on dropping all public newsgroups (including this one) by 01
October 2010; cf.

It's not because a group doesn't reside on Microsoft NNTP servers that you
can claim that there are NO Win7 group. As others have said, MS doesn't own
USENET.
