How to change your user name?

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.

  • 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.

  • How to change the user name - peer-to-peer network

    I recently installed shareaza, is a peer-to-peer network as you know. the problem is that all of my folders have my name on it: that is to say, he will say sharedfiles/Jose/my documents. I tried to change my username on useraccount, but the name of Jose remains on everything. is there anyway I can change this? Thanks for any help

    Hello

    The fact is that the username will be created at the beginning of the installation of the OS.
    It comes to you account on the laptop.
    Each user account includes the folder my documents.
    In this case, you cannot change the user account if you have a single user profile on the laptop. The title of the user accounts, you can create additional user with different names.

    The other possibility would be to change the download source. But that you change somewhere in the program settings. Unfortunately, this program is unclear to me. In this case, I can give t you information where you will find this option.

  • 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.

    Can a mod contact someone who can take a look at this?

    I too have this problem. I really wish that Sony would like to address this forum some to make it easier to use.

  • 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.
