• How do I rename the user_000 folder in Windows 8

  Hi all

  Today, I got a new laptop with windows 8.
  I had signed up for a Microsoft account earlier, so I typed that in when setting up my laptop for the first time.

  Unfortunately, the default seems to be that the user folder is created in this format:

  C:\Users\User _000 where 'user' is my first name, lowercase. I wish I had the format of C:\Users\Account. where 'Account' would be my full name with a space between the two and capitalized letters.
  Anyone know a simple way to change this?

  If you can't pass on your account offline I can do when I slide to the left and then click users.

  The reason for which you need an online account is due to access to the Windows store I'm curious to know why you want to change the profile for you were not able to access your Vaio applications or is it out of curiosity.
  No doubt a reason, it was size 000 to differentiate themselves from your local account you mind, I'm just speculating.
  I believe you can change your username under settings and also you can have an account offline.
  If you explain why perhaps someone with more knowledge of the question can help you!

• Can not stop cryptographic services to rename the Catroot2 folder.

  Hello

  I recently bought Halo 2 for WIndows Vista and tried to run it on my pc, which uses windows 7 Home premium. Since I installed the game, whenever I play it stops, saying that "Games for Windows Live could not... etc" I looked up the solution on a microsoft forum, and he said to rename the folder c:\windows\system32\catroot 2 by stopping the cryptographic service. ""

  Whenever I try to stop the cryptographic service, I get:

  System error 5: access denied

  I tried running the cmd as administrator prompt, and I get the message: "the application pause, continue or stop is not available for this service"

  I can also rename the Catroot2 folder, as he always says: ' this folder could not be renamed because it is already in use... etc ", but I think it's because I have not stopped the cryptographic service".

  What I'm doing wrong and what should I do to fix this?

• Prevent automatic Expansion of the users folder

  It is a loss of a lot of time for me.  When opening explores, it automatically expands the users folder that I can navigate and collapse to get to where I really want to go.  How can I disable this annoying behavior?

  Go to start / computer and you will have a view that is not developed (at least mine isn't) - it shows C:\ and does not yet show the subfolders as users.  Or if you want just your own profile information, click on and it will give you just the files and folders in your profile (not developed).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• How can I make a folder available only to a user (as the user folder)?

  I moved my library files and downloads folder to another partition. To do this, I did the "Users" folder I created "userA" application folder. I moved all the folders in the library in it. Everything was fine, but after the passage of 'b' user account, I found "UserB" can access all the ' wear "s newly made of the folders in the library.

  Is there a way to "wear out" folder invites a password entry window when "userB" or other users on the same computer try to access it, just like the original user folder in the original partition doesn't? (If "UserB" tries to access "userA" s original user folder in the C drive, it displays a password entry window asked to type ' wear "s login password.)

  Thank you!

  JP-

  You can change your authorization file to allow only the folder owner read the files.  If your door-inherited certain permissions from its parent, you can open the advanced permissions dialog box to remove the legacy. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-permissions#1TC=windows-7 for more details.

  Note there is no defense against the directors. For example at the password prompt, if the user enters an identifier of the administrator, the authorization of your file could be modified to allow access.  Administrators have full control over the system.

• How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

  Dear windows users,

  Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
  I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
  Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
  Thank you.

  BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

  When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

• My C drive is nearly full, can I send the 'Users' folder to 'C' on another disk "D"?

  I am usiinf Windows 7 Professional, my 'C' drive is an SSD with 'only' 56 Gig. My hard drive "D" is a one terabyte with more than 900 GB of space left on it.

  My file 'Users' is 13 Gig.

  DAVID BROOKER

  I don't think you can move the Users folder, but you can disable Hibernate and move your pagefile to free space, and you can move your Documents, music, pictures and videos folders.  You can uninstall some programs, and then reinstall them using the custom option and put them on the D: drive too.

  Good luck.

• 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!

• Rename the Media folder

  In the menu start, in the right side, above the 'Documents' folder is a more general file containing other folders: 'Videos', 'Games', 'music' etc. This forder is usually named after the name of the PC user, in my case, it was 'George '. About a week ago I was looking for something by using the address bar and it was accidentally renamed to 'from' and now I can't change it to 'George' since there is no option. By a right click on it, you get the options: 'Open', 'Explorer', 'Copy', 'display on the desktop '. Is anyone know how can I fix? Thanks a lot ^^.

  I can't delete the folder \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2 I tried to use regedit, but just ended up with a new \\JONESPC\Users\Jack2.JONESP folder

  This problem occurred when I tried to change the username to my main account I could do successfully by using the mode without fail & regedit
  But in the process, I created a new account I wanted to delete it later
  I went through the normal process via Add or remove user accounts & then click on delete the user account & then remove all files
  But this folder Jack2 remains!

  Then try:

  1. Safe boot mode.
  2. Log in as Jack.
  3. Property to enter the profile folders that bothers you - see here.
  4. Rename the folders unwanted profile by adding the suffix .junk.
  5. Wait a week.
  6. If all goes well, remove the folders of .junk.

• Why is the user folder so big?

  When I check the size of my file user (only one on this computer), Get Info indicates that it contains 147 concerts.  When I read the information on each of the 11 folders inside my user folder, they add only up to 75 concerts.  Why is there a difference of 72 concert between the file and the amount of its content?

  Thank you

• How to move or rename the music folder?

  I have a 50,000 ranked songs and thousands of podcasts, mixes, music videos or applications.

  I understand that the so-called gel and iTunes questions all trolling are down to a large enough or maybe completely stupid thing that is the 'keep the organized library option '. That doesn't make a sense, is impossible to run (it would take days, and of course, it freezes the whole computer), put the files where you didn't ask whether they are and then don't know how to recover.

  Because I am enjoying a summer break, I clean my readers and so I decided to do a cleanup, rename and move my music folder that contains all my music classified by artists alongside the iTunes folder.

  Fortunately for me I have zero confidence for Apple, as they were ISIS, so I hold the number and the location of the files because I realize that of course when a play one music it plays very well because itunes detects the song even though she move which it is supposed to do with finder file system.

  But then I restart iTunes to test and here you have this infuriating, incomprehensible problem "song not found" with all my songs, and even if I indicate the new positioning of the library this shit of iTunes is unable to find the songs and it will probably take years to re-index, as iTunes was even able to this without * computer.

  So: How can I move/rename my file without iTunes * up to the library and the paths of the music? Or is there any decent replacement for this * software yet? I have a lot of things and people to manage just in music, even if I used it for 15 years I don't have the patience to endure this * voluntarily, Apple seems to make it worse every update, more.

• Replace the user folder?

  I had a drive hard failure and then spent two days time Machine * (restore failed over and over again) before finally giving the place and moved manually on my supported up to data (ugh).

  I moved on my user folder, but it is not recognized in the system (users and groups), just the new preferences (another name) that I created when you install a new copy of El Capitan (former user folder is to El Capitan).

  I don't want to create a new user with the same name as my old username in the fear of it being deleted (tons of data that took forever to copy).

  Someone at - it experience with this situation?

  Advice would be appreciated - nearly three days of no productivity... I've gotta get back operational.

  Thank you in advance,

  Rick...

  Move this folder to one location other than/Users /, then create a new user. The items in the folder /Users/ are regular folders; the actual list of accounts is stored elsewhere.

• migration assistant for only the user folder

  I'm helping a student who left a Time Machine backup College but suffered a hard disk failure in his MacBook Pro here. We can't clone or make a backup hard drive TM or run the recovery partition. All we could do was to copy the user on an external hard drive folder.

  Apple replace the drive under warranty and installation of system software. When we reboot the machine that is repaired, we will be able to use setup assistant/migration assistant to transfer the folder to the user as it will not be recognized as another backup Mac or MC? Otherwise, what is the best way to get it on the laptop and recognized as a user it?

  (She needs to work on its data before returning to the University is not an option to wait until she is back with his backup TM)

  As far as I know the Migration can be done with just the folder of the user. What I would say is that you copy the text of the drive backed up by a folder. In other words, open the two folders of Documents and copy the text from the backup folder of Documents to the Documents from the computer folder. This, for everything except the library. Most of what is in the library will be restored as the computer is reconfigured and the applications are put back in place.
