You’re correct for the first half of your statement.
For the second half you’re incorrect, under Windows use the back slash.

I, too, am not a regular Windows user, but I believe you're supposed to use
forward slashes ("/") instead of back slashes ("\").

Enter exactly as I set it out.  Not having used Windows in any detail for over 
ten years I cannot navigate around it for you, but if you click on the icon of 
a disk drive, I think you should enter that line in the address line of the 
Window that then opens.

I hate to sound Illiterate, but am I supposed to enter the address with 
percentage points as well. I assume the Windows explorer bar (address bar) is 
at the top of the screen
 and not at the address bar a few inches under?  I hate when it comes to 
computer terms, etc.

To fix this, rename your OpenOffice user profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter.

Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer 
(sometimes called Windows Explorer) Address Bar and press Enter.

Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice.

Now restart OpenOffice.

Start OpenOffice.--
