In C:/users, I can't change the name

When I got to my PC I am entered the half of my name and clicked then accidentally enter if now my entire file 'Users' is only half of my name - how to change this (Windows 7)? Thank you

There is no direct way to change the name of your user account folder in C:\Users.

You can change the name of your user account in control Panel > everything in Control Panel > user accounts > change your account name .  This will change the name that appears on the start menu and the login screen, but not the name of the folder.

To change the user account name and the name of the folder, you can:

1. create a new account with the desired name administrator user.
2 copy all the files (documents, pictures, Favorites, music, etc.) of the old user account in the new account.
3. [optional] once you are sure that you have copied all the files, remove the old user account.

    Hi, I'm new to TS! Can I change the name of the object to measure report? Who can help me. Thanks in advance!

    «Under normal circumstances, I finished the test USE, TS generated the report like this "report [13-29-06] [4F492CAB04] [2012-11-28] .html'.»

    Can I change something, when TS report will like this"report [13-29] [4F492CAB04] [2012-11-28] .html' without seconds!

  • I can't change the name of the artist in windows media player 12

    I just got a new computer with windows 7 and windows media player 12. I can't change the name of the artist... the only thing I can change is the name of the song. I have a bunch of songs apparently by an artist called "Various Artists" (even if the playlist on the right has the artist right next to the name of the song)

    After almost losing my mind I finally realized that if I went to 'Artist' under the music heading and 'edition' "various artists" by clicking right select edit and then it is empty. But that only put some of the songs in the right places. I have now 2 songs always under "Various Artists" and apparently no way to solve this problem. It's so frusterating. Is not able to organize and change the information the whole point of WMP? Why am I required to have two completely different artists and songs under the title "various artists" I'm afraid to download more music because if another song goes under "various artists" I could just smash my brand new computer.

    What version of WMP, I had on my old computer had an advanced tag editor... Why is it that has been subscribed? And then I'm on the subject it's terrible this new Windows Media player is why is there not more "recently added" tab? It would have been helpful in trying to find music mistagged I just add... or maybe I should remember that all the songs are technically 'Various Artists' and just look there first.

    You can also change the Album artist for the music , if you select the column of the Album artist , right click on a column heading and selecting ... Choose the columns . Tim Baets
