Rename a folder in the tree "users."

I give a Lap Top PC to my niece. I want to delete any mention of my name. I've done pretty good so far. I changed the name of the PC to its name. But, in Windows Explorer, there is always a folder with my name. It's in the "Users" folder tree I tried to rename it, but this option is not listed in a right click. There AppData folders and files, so I don't want to delete it. How can I rename it? Please and thank you for your help.

PS, I plan on upgrading to Windows 7.

It can't be renamed directly because it could break the installed programs, operating system and features.

The recommendation is to go to the Control Panel, choose users, and add a new user with the name of your choice.  Then delete the old user.

    Yes :-)

    In your previous post, someone suggested to search for the file "SnpCreateTreeview.jsx", because it would just be the asked.

    The script can be found here, just accept the EULA and download the example scripts of Bridge CS3. (For some reason it is not in CS4 samples because as far as I know)

    3. Check the JavaScript Console to see the events captured by the elements of the TreeView.
       

    Description


     
     

    Creates two hierarchical list of TreeView items. One is static, with a fixed set of point
    nodes that you can expand and collapse. The other is dynamic; Item nodes are added and removed as
    the need for a view of the file system.
     
     

    The list items in the TreeView control to display the folders and files custom images.  When you add items to the
    TreeView list, type 'article' is used for elements of the leaf and 'node' to the elements of the container.
     
     

    Dynamic TreeView captures events in two different ways. It uses callback functions to capture the
    node to expand and collapse events and selection changes and also registers an event listener to
    capture double-click events.

  • "Default" folder of the deleted user

    Somehow my 'Default' user folder has been removed from C:\Users. This means I can create is no longer new users, as I just get the "opening of the session... impossible user profile service. "etc when I try to load the new user, because there is no profile by default so that it can be created from...

    Basically, my question is "is it possible to restore the folder of the user 'Default', or anywhere I can download it?

    Found the answer!

    I'm glad you found a solution and thanks for the comments. Two points remain:

    • You have no idea how the folder could be gone?
    • Have you given any consideration to create and maintain an image of your machine? As I loaded Windows 7 2 years ago, I was forced to fall back to a recent picture on five occasions. In each case, I had a minor but irritating problem that has defied my best efforts to solve.

    You can leave that it's because it's design in Windows. You cannot change the name of the original user account in the folder C: / / users.

  • Disable animation on the folder in the tree view

    I noticed the same behavior and hate it as well, mostly because it doesn't happen not only in windows Explorer, but for each treeview control in any application (Windows?) during the expansion, the collapse or scroll one page upwards or downwards (using the key or the scroll bar, not when you use the mouse wheel!). Make sure that a parent element contains many elements of the child (> 20?), so for example using the "Program Files" folder in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer (activate it via the "organize" - "Layout" tab).

    So far, I found a lot of message about this on various internet sites, but absolutely none of them explained how to fix or even only work-around her.

    The name of the folder in question has a format of "file name?

However, while trying to access the contents of the folder in Windows, I am welcomed with the error Although the file is inaccessible due to incorrect syntax. Whenever I try to move or rename it, I get the same error of incorrect filename syntax.

    Is it possible to rename this folder so I can access it? Thank you.

    For your information the travel records user is not recommended by Microsoft.

    To restore the user folder to the default location, try the steps for all the user folder to the default location.

    a. in Windows 8.1, go to research charm, type %UserProfile%, and select the folder whose name reads something like C:\Users\yourname.

    b. once there, you can move your documents.
    c. right-click on the Documents folder. Select Properties.
    d. click on the location tab
    e. click on restore by default and then restart the computer

    f. when the process is complete, repeat it with photos, music, videos and all the other files that you want to move to the default location.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the status of the issue.

  • is it possible to install FF outside the folder of the windows user?

    My work pc (windows 7) has a roaming profile. I'm local admin. The maximum size of my user account profile is only 100 MB. The first thing I did when I got a new OS was trying to install FF. That worked well, but after a few days, my profile has exceeded the 100 mb. FF amounted to more than 50 MB of data. Mainly in the app data files hidden.

    So here's my question. Is it possible to do a custom installation, with a minimum amount of data in my win7 user account?

    The simplest solution would be to use Firefox Portable instead.

  • Rename the folder to the user files

    In Vista, I can't rename a folder of the user.  This computer used to be used by someone else, and I can't rename the folder so everything I do Gets the tag with his name on it.  I changed the name of the computer and log in name.  Can I change any other user except this one folder.  Any ideas how to rename this folder?

    It sounds like a problem with permissions for me (he does not resemble a corrupted profile) - you try to use its files under your user name and the system wants as his user name.  The solution is to give your full user name to all records in his profile and then to take possession of all the files in the profile - then you will have the rights you need.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product).  This should also give you access to open and work with all of the files in these filders, as if they were in your file.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    You can also create a folder in your profile named username of the other person and move the files in this folder.  He needs to pick up the permissions and attributes of the new folder (YOUR user profile folder) and you won't need to go to his profile whenever you want to get one of his records.  You may still need to change the permissions and/or ownership if you do this - it would be just to make things easier and quicker to access.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
