I'm trying to change the user folder name in Windows, and I've run into a bit of a snag. Here's what I've done so far:
- Checked Current User Folder: In the Command Prompt, I determined that my current user folder is named "Sam".
- I tried to rename it to "User" in the Registry Editor under ProfileList.
However, when I do so, I end up losing data, and the system creates a temporary profile (TEMP).
Is there a way to accomplish this without losing data or ending up with a TEMP profile? Has anyone done this successfully? What do I need to do?
