Hello Bryan,

Unfortunately, you cannot change the name of the folder "C:\Users\(user-name). Instead, you can create a new account with a name of your choice, then copy all the contents of your old user of the "C:\Users\(user-name") records of user accounts in the new account user records matching "C:\Users\(user-name). After that everything checks out ok, you can then delete the old account go into a new.

Hope this helps,

  • I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.

    I had a very difficult time, adding new accounts to the system.  Now that I have, I can not change the type of standard user to the admin account.

    As you don't declare that you tried, I am unable to say where you went wrong. Here is a method to promote the accounts without going through the various GUI screens:
    1 restart in SafeMode with network.
    2. log on as an administrator.
    3. click on start.
    4. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    5. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    6. click on "run as Administrator".
    7. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    NET user
    (This will show you all existing accounts)
    net localgroup administrators 'xxxx '.
    (This will encourage user xxxx to Administrator status. Replace xxxx with the correct name account).

  • How can I change the username? (C main/user/reader user)

    I can't change the name in the properties settings. This icon also have a lock on her symbol.

    The lock symbol means that the folder is private and not shared with others on the network.  It is normal (you should have a lock on it).

    You can change the display name of your account by doing this:
    1 - type accounts in the start menu, and then click the user accounts link that appears.
    2 - Click on the link of the option to change your user name and save the changes.
    This will change the name on the login screen (welcome screen) and the Start Menu.  It will not change the name of the folder, however.  This is because the file is related to your account in a large number (hundreds, thousands) places and change the folder name will make your unusable account.
    The only way to change the name of the folder is to create a new account, move your files on this account, and then delete the old account.

  • How can I change the name of the user folder on drive C in Microsoft Vista?

    Hello. My father bought me a laptop about a year ago and when he started, he was the administrator. I want to change it because it is mine. I went into the Panel and changed the administrator.

    When you start the laptop, when you try and you enter in you must click on the name and photo. That's my name.
    When you open start, my name is there on the right with its own content of contacts, desktop, documents, downloads, Favorites, links, music, images, games, videos and research.

    The problem is when I open my C drive and go to users, there is a folder with the name of my father and the public. If you open the name of my father, it contained contacts, desktop, documents, downloads, Favorites, links, music, images, games, videos and research.

    I tried to change it again via Control Panel and just try to rename the folder. None of those who worked.
    How can I change my name? Is it still possible?

    Thanks for your help.

    Your father apparently just rename her user account with your name. As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile. If it is important for you:

    1. from an administrator account, rename the account she had originally. Then create the new Standard * user account named in the way that you want and at least an additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
    2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
    3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings *.
    4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
    5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

    * In the course of running as a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. You don't want to run as administrator for your daily work. Keep CompAdmin for your administrative account and use it only for the elevation and emergency situations.

    * If you do not want to bother copying old misnamed account settings, you can skip this bit and simply copy your data to the new user account instead.

    If you want to access your account again, correctly named automatically, follow these steps:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I change the language of the user interface

    It seems that some efforts on l10n had been put in the latest TP. My host OS is Win 7 x 64 (Simp-Chinese) and I find that the user interface has been localized.

    As I have no option to change the language, could someone tell me how to do?

    BTW: I also noticed that some channels have not translated yet while some translations need to be improved.

    I wonder how can I report a l10n issues. As this community is English, I don't think I can report it here.

    Thank you.

    A solution from a member of the VMTN community. And it works:

    If you want to change the workstation to English user interface, you can open Control Panel, open "regional language and ' and change the format to"English (United States). Workstation displays in English.

    He also mentions that the l10n process is not yet complete. So I guess it would be better for people like me to inform after the final version.

  • How can I change the language of the user interface for my trial version of Illustrator CS6?

    I don't know why, but I had the Danish, English or Dutch version would be nice.

    Re-download the package in the correct version. There is no way to change the language of the user interface on the trial in the case. Also check the settings of your system language. By default, installs broken will use the settings system locale. that cannot be replaced with a serial number when you purchase the product.
