Incorrect and automatic filepath to another profile of users

For some reason, the profile of my mother (Administrator) automatically seems to store lots of files, such as documents, temporary Internet files, in another profile that is not displayed in the start menu. I followed the path to 'Users' and there are two profiles "James". One is named "James", which is where result files, and there is "James_2" which is my profile with all my documents.

I want to try to get rid of my account and delete the other folder, once I have move the files and see if this solves the problem, because I have my own laptop now and I'm about to come out, but I'm afraid the computer could do weird things so my account and the file is deleted.

Suggestions?

Hello

I suggest to create a new administrator account and copy the settings of the current administrator account to the new. After that, you can delete your user account. A possible cause of this behavior change the username of the profile.

Step 1.
Let us create a new account of ser u with administrator privileges.
See the link below to create a new user account.

Step 2.
Once the user account is created copy the settings of the current administrator account to the new.
Refer to the article below for the procedure.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk

    I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk.

    Can I specify where Firefox puts the profile and the addons?

    If another location, then Windows uses by default.
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    WinXP, FF 3.6.8

    You can do this by using the Profile Manager. When you create a new profile, you can specify a location for the profile folder.

    You may create a new profile, and then transfer the data to it. For more information, see create a new profile for Firefox on Windows and transferring data to a new profile.

  • Display Dell Feature Request Manager: ability to associate an ICC profile preset and automatically switch

    I have a Dell U3014 and I love this monitor. I also like the display Manager software that allows me to quickly change the presets to monitor without messing around with the OSD or completely automatic based on the application that I use. The problem: many people, including that using end monitors need to render accurate colors and for this reason they calibrate/profile their monitors. Each preset needs that we present independently and has an associated ICC profile. Especially in windows, it is necessary to use an sRGB preset based for color unmanaged applications, while a wide range of predefined such as Adobe RGB is used on applications such as photoshop color management, lightroom etc. Manager display Dell offer a quick and elegant solution for the preselections, either by selecting a quick menu, either by automatically associating a preset for a given application (i.e. photoshop is enabled, go to Adobe RGB). It works very well, however the selection of the appropriate profile must be done manually and it's quite tedious (open the resolution of the screen change applet, click Advanced setting, open the color management applet, select the appropriate monitor and finally load the profile ICC proper). It's a lot of time and pain that could be completely and painlessly by DDM the automated solution: a small improvement to DDM may be in the form of a tab in color management, where an existing ICC profile may be associated with a given preset. If a preset has an associated ICC profile, DDM will load the appropriate corresponding ICC profile when it switches preset. Windows has API to load ICC profiles that are easy to use. I even tried to write my own software. Switching profiles is not complicated. What is difficult is to SDC/DI allows you to change the presets on the monitor. There is no free library to do that I could find. The company that makes this software to display for Dell Manager, EnTech sells libraries which SDC/DI but are more expensive that I can afford. I think to add such a device to DDM, would be an effort across very minor EnTech part, but the benefits for users would be great. If such a device would be helpful for you, or if you have any other suggestions please post them here. I hope that if there is an important need for it, Dell can ask EnTech to incorporate it into a future version of the MDD. Thank you.

    Thank you very much. It worked! Now, on the display manager, I have a small ICM button where I can link a CIM profile in a "Preset". It works beautifully. As a suggestion, it would be nicer to display in the ICM selection menu the name of the profile from its metadata rather than the file name of the profile itself as many profiling rather than application of the colour profile human-readable name in metadata and use a hex hash to force the user to open the applet from color correction to match the name of the file which is which. Also, the list is completed by the name of old profiles that have already been deleted. Whence the list?  These files are not in my windows/system32/spool/pilot/color directory more, are in the registry and also do not appear in the applet of color correction.

    Would be very happy to beta-test report and new updates.

    Thanks again for adding this feature. It is very useful

  • Is it possible to disable some programs and services in a profile, and another profile in Win 7 x 64 Ultimate has no effect?

    Is it possible to disable some programs and services in a profile, and another profile in Win 7 x 64 Ultimate has no effect? I have the profile and I went off the network and AV connection because I won't need them because I will work with a DAW in this profile.  When I connect to my profile on a regular basis that the network connection is disabled and the AV is thus disabled.  I want to eliminate any performance drain my Security Suite requires in profile, where I use the DAW.  There must be a way to do this without making all profiles.  Thank you in advance.

  • When Firefox in reduced and I work with another program, why does automatically optimize (pop-up) every 10 minutes?

    I use Windows 7 and 8.0.1 Firefox on a PC. It's frustrating. I like Firefox, but it keeps popping up every 10 minutes when it is minimized and I work in another program. I can't continue to use if it cannot be repaired. I just changed from 3.6 and never had any problems. In addition, no settings have been changed.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • How do a static backup thunderbird accounts that I can still access locally only (as another profile) on Linux

    I have a couple of IMAP accounts with my ISP. (I don't want to use POP). One of them is running out of space, so I have to clean the old stuff. Thunderbird is set to keep a copy of all emails locally on my laptop.

    What I want to do is to copy my existing profile and all accounts and the data to another location on the drive of my laptop, BUT I still want to be able to access offline using Thunderbird, so I can watch old information if necessary.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Here's what I've tried so far:

    I know there is the way to go by using profiles, but I was not able to understand how to get Thunderbird for me to change the name of the account in a profile without modification in the other too - or maybe it's not even access it at all.

    I use Kubuntu Linux with KDE 4.14.0 14.04.

    I tried to copy my profile and access with

       thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
    

    and access to the original with

       thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
    

    but it seems that it is only in the search to a single profile because when I try to change the name of the account in the backup (so it cannot access my IMAP account), I see the same changes in the regular.

    bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile = 1

    [Profile0]
    Name = default
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = oll1pj1u.default
    Default = 1

    bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile = 1

    [Profile0]
    Name = local backup
    IsRelative = 0
    Path = / Home/bigbird /. Thunderbird/Backup/oll1pj1u. Backup

    bigbird@Ramdass:~$

    I don't think that a new profile will help you at all.

    Copy what you want to keep from the server in Thunderbird local folders. That will free up space on the server.

    Provided that fix you things there is no huge file (> 4 GB) I do not have all of your old messages in local folders will not cause great distress.

    You can use the Thunderbird Profile Manager to switch between profiles, but I suspect that you will find it very annoying, because you have to close and re - open Thunderbird or use an add-on, to switch between profiles. Or you can jump through hoops and run two instances of Thunderbird, each with its own profile.

    However a lot of profiles that you have, you must make a difference in local folders to avoid them being stored on the server.

    You can export the messages to .eml, .txt or .html files but I suspect locate old messages would be painful, given that the chaining and the thread will be lost.
