dn0 Posted October 30, 2005 CID Share Posted October 30, 2005 I had my current PC built by someone else and they used my full name when installing Windows. Look at the attached screenshot. I cannot just rename that folder because it contains the system files. (or can I?) Does anyone know of a simple way I can do this without re-formatting and re-installing windows, or would that just be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted October 30, 2005 CID Share Posted October 30, 2005 Simply re-name (no difficulty there) or change your log on screen name. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted October 30, 2005 CID Share Posted October 30, 2005 DON'T rename it. That's not a good idea. Just create a new Windows user name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted October 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 30, 2005 DON'T rename it. That's not a good idea. Just create a new Windows user name. Thanks; I changed the user name, but the folder name I did not change. After reading up a little more I learned that it is a bad idea to change the folder name like you are saying. I will have to watch myself when posting screenshots a little closer, once in a while I post my full name by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
