Charles, Take a look here: http://www.thomas.edu/it/faq/WinXP_username.htm
However Don't move the files just COPY them and don't delete the old account before you have tested out the new one first! Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Hart Enzer, M.D. Sent: 06 October 2006 05:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [NF] Change Name of User and Folders I need to change the name of the User's Folders. When I mounted XP Home, I put in my name: Charles Enzer XP then called the User [Charles Enzer] and in [Documents and Settings]: The %UserProfile% was [Charles.Enzer] I then created another account, [XYZ]. I moved all the folders from [Charles Enzer] to [XYZ] and deleted the User [Charles Enzer]. I renames the [XYZ] user to [Charles] and rebooted. XP then called the User [Charles.MyComputer] and created %UserProfile% = [Documents and Settings/Charles.MyComputer]. How do I change the User from [Charles.MyComputer] to [Charles] and the profiles from [Documents and Settings/Charles.MyComputer] to [Documents and Settings/Charles]? Similarly, in SafeMode User [Administrator] has a user profile of [Administrator.TOSHIBA-USER] Note: [User Accounts] won't let me do this. Similarly, [Administrator] has become [Administrator.MyComputer] and %UserProfile% = [Documents and Settings/Administrator.TOSHIBA-USER]. -- Charles -- Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: <http://homepages.uc.edu/~enzerch>http://homepages.uc.edu/<http://homepages. uc.edu/~enzerch>~enzerch [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
