change URL spelling/case on sharepoint library - sharepoint

I have a sharepoint library that was created by a user with a url like "/mysite/MyLIBrary"
I want to change the case of the URL to be correct so it reads "/mysite/MyLibrary"
I cannot figure out how to do this in the sharepoint designer. Just renaming the library doesn't change the URL.

You should be able to select Document Library in SharePoint designer and Rename. This updates the Title of the list, not actual name.
After this you will also have to rename Library in "All Files" (Left-Botton in SharePoint Designer). Select the library, right-click and rename.
HTH!

Just go to a library trough 'All Site Content'. When inside the library choose on the ribbon 'Library' tab. Then select 'Open with Explorer'. That will open your SharePoint's library in Windows Explorer window. Navigate one folder up and you will see list of your libraries as folders. Rename required library's folder name as you want the URL to look like.

You can goto "Site Actions-->Site Settings-->Look and Feel-->Navigation-->Navigation Editing and Sorting" to change its URL's case.

How to Create Folders in a SharePoint Wiki Library?

In Team Foundation Server 2010 Team Project Portal how can I create sub-folders in the Wiki section?
Customize the Wiki
Goto Advanced Settings and enable Make New Folder option.. tada!
The Wiki functionality is just a Sharepoint functionality. Adding folders is not available by default in a SP Wikisite. For a workaround, read http://sharepointpratik.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/create-folder-in-wiki-page-library/
Do the following.
Open settings menu for a library:
Find advanced settings:
In advanced settings find "Make 'New folder' command available" and choose 'Yes'. Confirm your settings.
Go back to your page library and evidence 'Folder' command in 'New' menu:
For some versions of SharePoint, you can also grant Manage Hierarchy permissions to the user and/or group, then you can use a “/” in your link and SharePoint will automatically create the folder for you.
For example, the link might be [[SubFolder/Home|Home Page for Sub Folder]], which will create the Home page in the folder named SubFolder.
Perform the following steps:
Click to Site Actions.
Click Site Settings.
Click Site permissions.
Check the box next to the user or group of interest.
Click Edit User Permissions.
Check the Manage Hierarchy box.
Click OK.

Creating an item in a SharePoint Form Library from a SharePoint Designer Workflow

I'm using MOSS (SharePoint 2007) and InfoPath 2007.
I have a Form Library with an attached InfoPath form, and would like to create new items (forms) in this library during a workflow built in SharePoint designer.
I've tried using the "Create List Item" action, but it doesn't assign the correct metadata (the new item looks fine in a view of the list, but can't be used to render the form (the generic "form has been closed" error comes up if you try to view the item)).
I'm not adverse to writing my own custom WFA to do this in .NET if need be, although it'd be nice to find a simpler solution.
Can anyone provide any resources for how to achieve this in SPD, or programmatically? My searches on the topic so far have been unfruitful...
Found the solution to this, thanks to a video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/v/bcnC_XwCcAg&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0
For anyone else out there who (like me) might not be able to watch YouTube content where they need this information, here's the process:
Create IP form
Publish to SP Server (as doc lib)
On document library, change settings:
allow management of content types
display in browser
"Fill out" a blank version of the form and save it to the doc lib with name "template"
Open context menu for "template" form and select Download a Copy
Delete "template" form from document library
Open library in windows explorer
Open Forms dir
Paste downloaded copy of "template" form into the Forms dir (as template.xml)
Go back into doc lib settings
turn off management of content types
change template url to template.xml
press OK to save changes
Go back into advanced settings ago, and turn management of content types back on
In SPD, make a WF which uses Create List Item to put an item in that library
And that's it. Just 12 steps needed to publish an InfoPath form so that it behaves as you'd expect, and any SharePoint developer should be familiar with 12-step programs.

Delete link for documents in Sharepoint Document Library

In the Sharepoint Document Library web part, is there a way to have a delete link for each of the files listed?
In the regular view of a document library you have a dropdown available when you hover over a filename, but there doesn't appear to be any option to delete a file in the web part.
Make sure you have proper permissions to delete the document. Usuallay if you have permission then you will see "Delete" option in the drop down menu.
Goto Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings -? Advanced Permissions
Click the appropriate group and make sure the user has permission to delete documents.

How to open a stored in SharePoint from Team System task screen?

Someone put a hyperlink to a document stored in SharePoint, in the All Links tab of a TFS task.
When I double click it, it opens up in a new browser tab in VS2010, then asks whether to download it ("Open/Save" dialog).
The result is that the file is downloaded and then opened as a local copy.
What I want to do is to open the document directly from the URL of the SharePoint site so editing will be done directly.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
I would asume that if you select "Open" that it would open off the sharepoint server. If this is not the case, then you would need to navigate to that document in Team Explorer or on the Sharepoint site and open it from there.

How do you change the address of a document library?

I have a site with multiple document libraries in it. One of the site users has full control of the site & at one point, instead of creating a new document library, they renamed the default document library from "Shared Documents" to "Correspondence". Now they've opened the document library in windows explorer, so it's added an entry into their network places. The name of the entry was "Shared Documents on portal.mydomain.net" and not "Correspondence on portal.mydomain.net". This is because the address of the library is still "Shared Documents". I went into the user's network places and renamed the entry, however I would prefer to have the address changed as well, so that future users do not run into the same problem.
I looked in the Document Library Settings but couldn't find a place to change the address there. The address gets displayed in "Title, description and navigation" but there is no option to change it. I tried looking under Site Actions > Site Settings > Content and structure to see if there was any way to change the address there. However, when I check off the Correspondence document library and pull down the actions menu, "Move" is greyed out.
I suppose that I could save the library as a template, include the content & make a new library in the proper address, but then the modified by information would all be wrong.
Any ideas?
Renaming the document library in SharePoint Designer changes the address.
Open the library in Windows Explorer, and just rename the folder. Works in Sharepoint Foundation 2010.
