C:\Users account name question after clean install
Due to problems, I just did a clean install of Win 10. Got a surprise in that under C:\Users it created three defaultuser folders and a main named one in the style of "robertj" (not the real one). So I changed the latter under user profile to what I expected, i.e., just my first name, as in "Bob," but still got some unexpected results: 1) on reboot, the Windows login page had both my full name and first name down in the left corner, as if I now had two separate accounts, and 2) the C:\Users entry still is in the style of "robertj." Two questions:
- What should I make of the first? My full name still shows as the Adminstrator account in the User Accounts dialogue, while in the User Profiles box there are two entries, a) NAME\defaultuser0 and NAME\Name, and both seem to be local. My goal was only to change what was showing under C:\Users, not anything else. Do I need to walk something backward?
- Is there a way to change that folder name the next level down from C:\Users to my preferred name?
I hope that's clear. Thanks,
