Change a user name.

My wife, Elizabeth, died two years ago.   All the paths on our laptop (windows vista Home premium) begin C:\ Elizabeth.   It is distressing.   How can I change?

If it has been the primary user on the PC there is currently no way to change that, unfortunately, don't save for a clean install of Windows. However, you can take a look in Control Panel-> user accounts and the family safety-> user accounts to see if something can be set. Because, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you here (but keep your eyes open for other answers that I may have missed something that Microsoft MVP will pick me up on).

    Is the only way to completely close your profile and start a new?

    Yes. On this forum, you can only change the full name and not the username.
    To change the user name, you would have to contact and administrator, but maybe there's no one around at the moment.
    Otherwise, you will need to delete your account via your user profile page and create a new account with the desired name.

  • Cannot change the user name of the forum

    If you go to the user control panel, under the profile box, there is a place where we can make our forum user name - which would be nice because this stuff USER-xyz is ridiculous.

    Unfortunately, it does not work because you must put a valid e-mail address in order to change your user name... but you can't because it lacks the text box that you are supposed to type in the e-mail address field.

    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you have changed the user name.

  • Change of user name in windows 7

    How can I change my USER NAME in windows 7? IM using Windows 7 Home Premium in my DELL laptop. I've successfully changed in "Control Panel > user accounts. I also changed in "my computer (right click) > change settings" and changed the name of the computer, the description of full computer name and computer. After this step, right click in 'My Computer' watch my desired username, but using the "information for Windows > operating system" it shows again my old username IE Dell. Another example of username is not changed is the performance of games like EA Hot Pursuit, it shows my user name as DELL. I tried to change "regedit" too. Anyone?

    As you said, you tried regedit. Have you tried changing RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization keys in the following key:

    Good reading to confirm that this is what you wanted to do.

    NOTE: As it is to change the registry, its recommended to backup your PC first, and then set a restore point, then a backup of the registry before changing anything. This ensures that you can get your PC back to how it is now called something must be wrong go, or change doesn't have the desired effect.

  • Change of user name, but it is not reflecting

    Hello

    I changed my user name display on the community page of my profile is not reflecting. As you can see, in the image below (my main language is Portuguese):

    username.png

    Please help me on this.

    Kind regards.

    It might be a good idea to be more specific on what changed you:

    The profile uses "username" to your user handle display or community name. It seems that it is the one you want to change.

    The login page also uses "username", which is your login name or your email address. This information cannot be seen by others. If you have changed that too, you can specify that, who, according to previous experience, can be the reason of all sorts of problems.

    I think the term "username" is misleading and the account profile page should rather use "community name" or "Nickname" instead of "username" to avoid confusion.

  • Change the user name in Smart View 11.1.2.1

    Hello

    Is it possible to force a change of username in Smart View 11?

    Once the user is connected to they need to restart the copmputer to change the user name.

    I thought of making a right click on the HFM application and clicking on logout would work, but it didn't. Instead, you must click on disconnect all. You can find it in the Smart Panel View, by clicking on the little black arrow next to the Home icon.

    Let me know if you still see issues.

    See you soon,.

  • Change of user name for Acrobat

    Hi all

    Is there a way to change the user name assigned in Acrobat for marking documents in the comments/changes? Currently, this is my email address, which I suppose than acrobat from the record. However, I would like to change to something else, but I have not seen how do.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Sam

    Your comment is remembered until you tell Acrobat to store another, by editing a comment and update the default. It has nothing to do with the 'identity' in preferences, which is used for digital signatures.
