  • How can I change user icon?

    Hello

    I have an acer iconia 830 a1 Android and recently I found the main icon is linked to my Google account. I clicked on the user icon on my site and changed the icon of the user on the page. Unfortunately, it changed my Android device icon. I couldn't remove the icon on the Web site, but has deleted the icon of the Google app + Android. Profile of user icon returns to the default blue icon, but the android icon remained. I tried to change the icon again, the android icon changed instantly, but would not restore the default icon once the page Google.com to deleted user icon.

    Is there a way to clear the icon of the device android WiFi, battery, clock, menu user drop down? It's the second drop of the notification bar. I tried to erase data under 'contacts' and 'contact storage. " Is not the icon of contact related to the device, but the Google + user page, which has been changed and restored to the default.

    I would like to restore my Android for the smiley face icon, if there is no way I guess that I will project from the drop-down list to another device and use it as the Google + page, then delete the icon forcing the android icon to restore.

    I hope you can help me to restore my default user icon.

    Thank you!

    The two methods I found in a quick Google search are to change your icon in the Contacts by editing your profile and changing the image in Google + and then sync. Most suggest copy image stock because apparently just to take a picture is not back to the stock.

  • 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!
