the profile user account folder can be renamed instead of create a new user account

I noticed this issue posted everywhere that none got the answer, the person posting was looking for.  Basically, the question is "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed? '...  I have the same problem.  I sent a PC in for repair.  They reloaded the operating system and created the new test user account.  Rather than just create a new user account, I've renamed the test NAME user account.  I couldn't help but notice later that user account folder name has remained the same "TEST".  That's why you have people to ask the question "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed instead of create a new user account."  It of an easy fix but does not answer the question.

It is not usually. If you have a computer, why not have just him take care of it for you instead of friction top yourself? ;-)

Try this instead if you really must do it yourself:

1. create a new administrator account. Call it 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar. You definitely want to have an administrative user account like this set up that you will use not except for emergency situations. You will use this in the elevation of privileges in your daily report - which will be a Standard account - but will not need to connect to CompAdmin after that company copy unless something goes terribly wrong. ;-)

2. create a new user account Standard for your daily work. This called something that makes you happy. I don't know your real name, so I'll call it "HDXer". Connect to HDXer to create the profile files/folders.

3. connect to CompAdmin and:

a. Control Panel > everything on the control panel > Folder Options

b. click on the view tab, click hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box and then click OK. Now you can see everything.

c. using Windows Explorer ("computer"), search for the file C:\Users\Test.

d. Select all files and folders in this folder, except the following files: Ntuser.dat, Ntuser.dat.log and Ntuser.ini.

e. click on the Edit menu and then click on copy. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

f. Locate the C:\Users\HDXer folder.

g. click the Edit menu and then click on paste. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

Sign out and then sign back in as a HDXer. All your stuff should be there. You need to configure your icons and wallpaper (Control Panel > Personalize) and some preferences have been postponed, but really with the exception of the email all your data, Favorites, etc., should now be at the HDXer.

If you have messages in an e-mail program, such as Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. Because I don't know what you use for email, I can't give you the details about it. If everything is working properly, you can remove the old Test profile by using the user accounts applet in Control Panel. It won't hurt anything to make you leave the trial on the system for a while, or even forever.

    Yes, you will need this same code applied to all pages you want to track. Simplest is to add to your Master Pages rather than individual pages.

  • Corrupted profile and the profile "User" generated by Windows

    The profile that I use "Shortie" is corrupted and the 'User' profile was generated somehow.

    This has happened after running a registry cleaner on the computer. The same registry cleaner has been run on this computer without problem.

    I have run the restore of the system twice and both times it came back with an error.

    In Control Panel, the user that Shortie is listed under user accounts, but it is not under c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes

    I also ran Scannow without showing error.

    I created another account and copied files, but I need to get the recovered e-mail.

    Could someone help to regenerate the account "Alexandra" and let me know about the account "user"?

    Can I rename 'User' for 'Shortie', or it is time to take back the HP computer again?

    Thank you.

    Very well! I get it... registry cleaners are _ but don't you think I knew that on my own?

    The question on this post was about the corruption of the profiles.

    I went to another Committee and got the management that I needed.

  • Could not load the profile user (XP OS) and lost files

    Hello

    I tried to connect to my help my profile on XP last night and message box came up saying that my profile cannot be loaded.  I am currently in the temporary profile that was created automatically by the system for this profile.  It seems that files on another profile missing now and I can't get back my original profile.  This profile has been my administrator profile that I created to replace the supplied profile admin system.

    I checked the event log and I see an error event ID: 7026 "could not load the driver system or next start: Lbd." recently, I used the 'delete' function to get rid of one or two programs but was able to connect after you remove these two programs, so I don't think that was my problem with profile.

    I've seen a few comments on the forums, but they are especially for non XP OS.  Is it possible to retrieve the profile and files.

    Please notify.

    Thank you for your time.

    Recovering from a corrupted or damaged user profile is a relatively simple operation.  Follow the instructions in the following article:

  • Favorite Menu works, but the library of Favorites folder is empty, no import bookmarks or save new bookmarks.

    I can see and use the previously marked pages to a bookmark in the bookmarks bar. However, the Favorites of the library folder is empty. I can't import or restore bookmarks to it, and it will not save new bookmarks. In fact, 'add bookmarks' lists all records in which put new bookmarks. I tried trashing Firefox and download a new version. Did not solve. I searched the troubleshooting resources and assistance only I found suggested opening the profile folder to delete maybe corrupted files as places.sqlite but could not find such a file or files on my hard drive. Help! Thank you!

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • By clicking on "New folder" to save a bookmark, it changes just the current folder instead of create a new folder. This seems to be a bug.

    Here are the steps I did it worked before and the unwanted results:
    -Click on the bookmarks menu
    -Click on "Bookmark this page".
    -Click on the arrow pointing down in the folder field
    -Click on "select".
    -Click on "new folder."

          • No new folder created.

    -So, clicked on one of my folders
    -Click on "new folder."

        • Here is just to put the file that I had previously selected in edit mode.

    I wish to have a new folder, do not change the name of an existing folder.

    Counting that I have 13 folders, I see two named "new folder", so maybe that's more a problem with the selection of the folder for the edition is that the folder has not been created. Whatever it is, it always seems to be a bug.

    I followed the suggestion to disable the theme. Not sure if this has solved the problem or if restarting my computer (from hibernation) it is resolved, but it seems to work now...

    Except, it is used to put the new name of folder directly in edit mode. A little annoying, but I can do this simply double-click the name highlighted.

    I was able to rekindle my theme and it still works.

    Links to secondary suggestions talked about issues I've ever lived.

    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I set tabs to create a new tab whenever I click a link?

    I want to put the navigation tabs so that whenever I click on a link, it will open in a new tab adjacent to the existing tab.

    Middle-click or CTRL + left - click on a link or bookmark to open it in a new tab (click Middle = press the scroll of the mouse wheel). You can also right click on a link or a bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab".

    To open new tabs next to the currently selected tab, you must set/check a hidden preference:

    • Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
    • If you see warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
    • Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
    • Look at the column 'Value' (false= open to end, true= open after the current tab). Value = true is the default value.
    • Double-click this preference to switch the value from true to false and false to true
    • Restart Firefox (file > restart Firefox)
    • See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
