How do I change my user name in file paths without creating a new user?

Ryan194 · 01-06-2009, 09:39 PM

Hey, How's it going people?

A few days ago I formatted my HDD at a shop, and they put the user name to "Admin"

Now I changed it, but in file paths it still says Admin.. for example:

C:/Users/Admin/Music

Can someone please enlighten me?? Any help is appreciated.

Change account name back to 'Admin'. Go to User Accounts and create another account with your previous username, log off and log in to the new account you created. And copy any personal files from the C:\Users\Admin\Music folder to c:\users\<your account name folder>\Music folder. After all files are copied, you can delete the previous account.
