change of file user name

I want to change the name of the C: user / lisa to C: user / adam I am running windows 7

The best way to do this is to create another user account (adam) with administrator privileges.

Then towards the top you like, including a copy of your personal files, etc. to the new account.

Then, when you are satisfied, remove the old account (lisa).

In addition, see this.

  • Change my Kuler user name

    I have changed my username in my Adobe but the old name still appears in the Kuler themes.

    And when I tried to post in this forum, I was asked for a user name before as I could. When I typed in my user name ("dappledandy"), he said that it was already taken (duh - by me!) so I had to add an extension number. Very annoying and don't know why they ask for a user name when I already put it in my profile.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Halasz,

    You can get what you want to use, for example a/l FOR command from the command prompt:

    • [Win] + X
    • Command prompt
    • CD /D drive:------DirectoryWhereYourFilesAreStored
    • Type of / l %G in (1,1,100) @If are TEXT. %G Ren TEXT in the file. File G % File%G.txt, and then press [Enter]

    Notes

    1. Respect the %G everywhere capital elsewhere, the command will fail. If your decide to use "%g" instead of "%G" and then use "%g" everywhere for the same reason. You can also decide to use another letter...
    2. If you have more than 100 files replace the parameter appears in bold with the appropriate value.

    There is necessarily a way to do something smarter, but it would take a little thought and a batch development. Not sure whether what you need at the moment.

  • Laptop was only gave me my uncle. How do I change to say my name on the user login screen, when I start the computer instead of 'Bob '.

    So I just got this laptop from my uncle, and his name is Bob.  When I turn on the computer and need to type in a password to sign in to get to my desk, he says "Bob."  How do I change to say my name... and when I do this it will automatically change my main folder with all my downloads and documents for say my name or if he insists Bob?

    I have not thinl there is no procedure for this, the only solution I know is to create a new account with your desired name, copy all the files and the settings for the new user account if you want, and then delete the original account when you are sure that you don't need more.
     
    Use the procedure on the article if you want to copy files and settings for the new user account.

  • Account name My Vista "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" is not, despite the change.

    My Windows Home Server (WHS) prefer the same name of user account on all computers that I use - for the connection and easier access to the files. So to my Vista computer, I changed my account [ancien_nom] name [name]. Vista indicates the name of the new account everywhere but the server after a while (!) stopped recognizing my account and complains about "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" suggesting I should change the name of the account on the ESM. Since I have other computers where I can't change the name of the account (work computer), for this purpose I changed the name of the account on my Vista computer.

    The reason why the WHS could work properly at the beginning maybe I can connect to the WHS folders in a separate process by using the new account name. Choose to save the password - which might have worked for a while, but no more. I also tried to connect as a network device, but I do not correctly reconnect with the identification information data (and saved).

    1 is the name of initial account stored anywhere even if I changed and the reason why it can pop as in this case?

    2. any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    3. or is the problem only on the side WHS - then I might have to turn to a WHS forum

  • How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

    I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

    I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
    However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

    Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

    Any help is appreciated.

    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.

    1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one 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.

    If you want to access your account again, it is corrected 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).

    General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - cannot change the user name in the authentication dialog box

    I was hoping someone might be able to answer a question on how to get a computer running Windows 7 Home Premium to display both the username and password fields when attempting to authenticate on another Windows computer.

    Here's the situation: allow us that the leaders and other members of the staff allowed our Organization to establish a VPN connection to our corporate network (via Fortinet Forticlient, for what it's worth.)  Once the VPN connection is established, on the remote computer, the user must be able to access the UNC path to our file (\\servername\share) server.

    Because the remote user has not yet authenticated on the domain Active Directory of business, a dialog box should appear to the user input a user name and password.  Enter the user name (domain\username) and password and share should open, and the user must then be able to access the files in the share.

    I (and several other members of the staff) have been using this method successfully to access files via the VPN connection, and it works very well.  However, it does not work whenever the President of the company will connect to the VPN from his computer at home.

    Whenever the President connects the VPN and attempts to access the UNC path, he reports that the dialog box which appears on his computer at home has only one field for a password; the user name field appears to be on his local user account, and it doesn't have the ability to change.  (I have him asked if there is an option 'use authentication information', and he declares that there is not just a dialog box with a single field, the field of password.)

    The President is running Windows 7 Home Premium on his computer at home, so I thought that the problem could be because he was running this edition of Windows.  However, I have installed VPN client and test the connection on the server share file using the computer of my wife, who is also running Windows 7 Home Premium, and I received the two fields as expected authentication dialog box and has been able to authenticate to the domain successfully and open files from the share with no problems.

    Does anyone have recommendations on what I can try to allow the President to authenticate successfully to our server share?  I am confused, and it is eager to be able to get remote access to files on his home computer.

  • Jabber - user name cannot be changed on the first v11.5 for Windows installation

    I am posting this because once again it becomes chronic as people get new laptops and install new versions of 11.5 Jabber

    There was only 1 answering machine on my previous post, and didn't us get any where.  His response was to start the installation with the switch to NO search of WebEx service.  When I pointed out that we must seek to WebEx Messenger, but that our usernames for Messenger and WebEx meetings are separate, the thread is dead.

    Is there anyone who can tell me how to install Jabber for Windows 11.5 so that the user is not EXCLUDED to change the username on a new install?

    ************************************************

    We have installed just 11.5 Jabber on a couple of new corporate machines (Win7 using Skype as IM Corp)

    We have a Jabber ongoing performance using WebEx Messenger driver, so we have no SSO or AD integration.

    After a clean installed Jabber with no switch and no custom URL (we just downloaded CiscoJabberSetup.msi for v11.5 and ran in the download on the machine folder) the screen to connect comes but the user name is already filled so it is GREY you can change.  The format is our corporate email address.  We are also no "Reset Jabber" option in the file menu. Which is gray as well.

    Then, we took another machine and installed from the command line with that for options:

    "msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi CLEAR = 1 CLICK2X = DΘSACTIVER"

    Same question.

    So, where is Jabber pulling these usersnames and why we can not change it?  Why does "Reset jabber" clothes outside too?

    I have a feeling that it is because UPN_Discovery is automatically enabled (for autousername population). Can you try to install Jabber with disabled UPN_Discovery?

    MsiExec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi UPN_DISCOVERY_ENABLED = false CLICK2X = DISABLE

    To run as an administrator, open the windows in administrator mode command prompt (right click on Start menu on windows 8) and browse (> cd) to this location for jabber Installer CiscoJabberSetup.msi and copy / paste this command.

    Reset gray is indeed a bit odd.
