I took a laptop from my sister. I took over their local account and changed the username / computer name. If I now under
This PC - OS (C): user leaves, then the name Monk appears after the user. I didn't set up this name. All the folders are listed under it (pictures, documents, etc.) Unfortunately I can't change the name. Does anyone know how to do that? How do I change the user's name?
You simply can't change it.
You can only create a new admin account and then delete the old one from the new one.
This path name / User / * NAME * / … Is stored in so many registry sections, and also in many local configuration files, that changing the local path would cause many problems. Programs would no longer find data and would no longer run. The registry could be adjusted easily, but the local Konfog files are somewhere on the disk and each would have to be found, opened and changed… It is faster to set up the computer again instead of having everything changed / changed yourself…
