Change the name of the folder "User".

I changed my account from Xyz to Abc name, but who has not automatically changed the name of the C:\Users\Xyz to C:\Users\Abc. Then I spotted responses in the latest discussions in this forum and a suggestion created a new user account called 'for now', made "at this time," the administrator, converted my old user ("xyz") account to a standard user, disconnected Xyz, logged on to 'for now' and tired to rename the folder C:\Users\Xyz to C:\Users\Abc... but it wouldn't let me not - says "this action can not be performed because the file or a. file is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again. "I had closed all the files and folder... When Windows gave me this error message, I even open the Task Manager to 'for now', opted to show processes from all users, and there was no open process account Xyz... So why am I still not able to rename Xyz? Most frustrating. Why cant Windows 7 at least tell me what file or folder is open in Xyz?

Hello

You can't rename a user account records. You can rename a user account, but it will not rename the files. The reason is that each user profile is associated with a specific security ID and there are many places in the system who wants to say that SID and the names of these folders.

See the following article for instructions on the replacement of an existing one with a new profile user profile. This information allows to replace your original account.

Difficulty a user profile corrupted - how to

WARNING: Be very careful when changing user profiles. Always ensure that you have at least one administrator created account to use when creating/changing of accounts. If you remove the single administrator profile, you may lock you out of the computer that requires reinstallation of the operating system to retrieve.

After you create a new user profile, you must disconnect and connect with the new profile to complete the creation of the profile.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

    How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.

    1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal

    ▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell

    If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.

    2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.

    Back up all data.

    Select

    New Shell command ▹

    in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked

    Run the command inside a shell

    If it is enabled.

    Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:

    /bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files

    Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:

    /bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files

    History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".

    Close the window and open a new test.

    You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.

    And I need to change the code of UserFunctions.Java.

    UserFunctions.Java, I can create, edit, and delete a user.
    But in this sample program, when I want to edit a user, I should create a new user first.

    My requirement is I want to change the existing user passing the parameter when you run the program.
    So, when I want to launch the program, it should be like this:
    Java UserFunctions 'method' 'username', 'password', 'email', 'first name', 'last name '.

    FYI, I can create a user in passing the parameter as I mentioned above.
    But to edit a user, I still can't do it.

If you are an administrator you can allow full access to your account to all or specific files on drive c (including a root folder) by editing its ' authorization of the lists by right-clicking on a file and choosing "Security."

    If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to automatically load bridge at startup.  Disable this option in PS or close bridge before shutting down the computer.

    If you always want it to start on a specific folder, you can leave it on autoload, go to the folder that you want to start, then exit bridge.  It should load this each time in the future.  Many of us discourage the auto load option because it can lead to other problems as well.
