Change of username with Regedit winlogon

Posted this in the system repair because I put the safety of this operation and do not harm my computer.

In regedit in HK_local_machine/m/wnt/crrvr/winlogon, I have a registry key called the default username. If I put it and disconnected, the computer change all user name would be, or could do it this way harm my computer? (I know that you can make an account, but don't want to have to replace all my 'personal' files. Please stay on the topic of regedit.

Thank you
-Alex.

You abbreviated the key? Heh
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

I don't think you understand what does this key.  It's not * change * the username, it defines the default username to the login prompt.

Will not harm anything - I usually put this key all the time when I remotely know someone elses system with an administrator account.  Just before I logged out - I put that key so that the user would see their print instead of the administrative user name I had used.

  • Problem with implementation of Weblogic 10.3 after the change of username password

    I am facing problem with bringing Weblogic 10.3 after the change of username password in the field of safety Madhok, basically, I have deleted the user weblogic default and set m, y custome own user and provide credentials in the server start tab. When I try to bring up the administrator of the server it is, but managed servers fail from the administration console and I see security credentials for authentication error in newspapers? Why who would consider that the server administrator is able to provide the same credentials.

    We had the similar problem in the past, our problem is:
    Problem:
    We have removed weblogic default security domain user and create a new user when Manager nodes and managed servers declined. When we try to put in place managed servers after the starting node Manager we continue get refused authentication errors.

    Solution:
    Recreate the user weblogic now try and implement servers managed from the command line using weblogic user. Once they are up to tap them down and bring them to the top again with the new user you created and it will work

    Reason:
    The 10.3-managed servers seems to store the local credentials he managed ldap or cache servers. When you start managed servers don't know the new information of identification and authentication performed against the old values of credentials stored, where they fail. Once they are started with the information identification old they communicate with the admin servers to sync it hides with admin servers and new identification information is updated and then you can restart the servers managed with the new credentials.
    Note: Sometimes after reboot you can meet the problem as the synchronization with the administration server process is asynchornous, weblogic prints a line saying something like asynchronous operation with the null Server address. If the line is printed sync has arrived and you're good. In case you do not see the line to reboot once again and you will see the line after which you can restart with the new credentials.

  • I need help with start up after changing the username.

    I downloaded El Capitan on my MacBook Air without any problem.  Then, I changed my username under user accounts.  I restarted my computer, as has been suggested, but now when I type my password to connect, it just goes to the El Capitan background screen and nothing opens.  All I see is the color wheel and the display of the mountain.  I think that its not to recognize my account.  How can I fix? I tried to go into safe mode, but I don't know how to fix it once I am there.  Can someone help me?  Thank you, Sandi

    How did you change your username?

    You cannot change an account name in system preferences. You can add or delete accounts and change a password, but change the real name requires a lot of technical work via the Terminal application.

  • I want to edit/change my username to my new computer. How can I do?

    I'm in the middle of my new Omni 120 PC computer programming (APU AMD-E-450 with graphics HD Radeon (TM)), but I want to change the username (you mind, not add).  How can I do?  I still have to install the anti-virus protection on it.

    You must be logged on as another user, first of all, one with admin rights. Then, you can go to control panel, user accounts and change the name of the user in question to something else.

  • records of strange files under my username with the C: prompt.

    Why a file would be under my user id is C:\cc44550b9539189e94f35bdf61\jscript.dll and not someone elses home?

    Thank you

    C

    I don't you part jscript.dll but see if this part makes sense for you:

    When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

    This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

    For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

    C:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

    There may be other folders and files in the main temporary folder.

    They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

    If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

    You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

    Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

    There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

    Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is a good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

    If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

    Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

    With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, sharing, customize

    With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, security, customize

    Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

    It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

    If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

    Unlocker can be downloaded here:

    Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

    Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

  • Change the username on the start to something else, as the name of the computer

    I'm on a domain.
    I would like to change the username on the start menu for anything other than the username.
    User ID would be ok. Name of the computer would be even better.
    I see a number of things that could go instead.
    How is that possible?

    It would be nice to be able to customize the name of this poster in the startmenu.
    Too bad Microsoft don't think that in time there is.

    Windows XP puts the name of the person currently logged on to the system at the top of the start menu. The reason for this is to make it easier to say that the user is connected to a Windows XP system that is configured with multiple users. However, if you are the only person using the computer, you don't really need to have your name at the top of the menu start. You can remove it by using the Group Policy console (Microsoft Management Console snap-in used to edit Group Policy objects).

    1. Start the Group Policy console (Gpedit.msc).
    2. Go to User Configuration | Administrative templates | Start menu and taskbar.
    3. Find and double-click the setting remove the username from the Start Menu.
    4. Select the active option button, and then click OK.
    5. Exit the Group Policy console. The change will take place immediately.

    Note: This tip only applies to Windows XP Professional.

  • Need to change the username on the microsoft account

    last year, I used my email to set up an account to Microsoft for laptop of my daughter (go to College).  Now, I need to use my email to set up a Microsoft account for me to use the features of 8.1 of Windows on a new computer laptop, I just bought.  For example if I want to use the mail on W8.1 client it forces me to set up a Microsoft account because I don't want to link this machine the software licenses for my daughter's account, etc..  HOW CAN I CHANGE THE USERNAME ON HIS ACCOUNT SO I CAN USE MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO MY NEW ACCOUNT GAME?

    One way would be to pass account to your Microsoft Account daughter portable Local account and then use create new Microsoft Account for her and connect with her

    However, you connect with your account in your PC and then your bet as you wish.
