Wrong user name/profile in registry
Recently changed name of a user account. Thought it was straight forward but I started getting the dreaded "We can not sign into your account" error. Off to the registry, under this user's account, where I noticed the old username with the Temp designation but it wouldn't let me delete the temporary user profile. Tried going in under my account (admin) and the temp user profile was gone but so too was the new user account. However, one of the registry user profile entries had the ".bak" extension.
I know I'm doing something wrong but don't know what it is (I learned this from being married for over 35 years and using computers for about as long ). Help?
