    Corrected my user Profile name via Tutorial=error in Reg Ed


    21H1 (os build 19043.1288
    Good Morning any help please I restored my original Users > user Profile Name back after MS changed it. I made a mistake in Reg Edit when folowing one of our TEN forum's tutorial's and now it wont change and stay there. After I mis-read "enabled"

    Even with the Tutorial in the "Reg profile list" to Rename “dasha” back to D M.........l the change that Microsoft had made? Back to my original Admin Acc as I have been back and used the correct (expandable) REG_EXPAND_SZ but I still can't rename it in User's When I moved on to the Win10-Tutorial Rename Profile Names in User's user > Option (10) > "Open Explorer > C;/ User's >user > at Option (11) unlike the scr clip of 10 & 11there is no choice or option in that Dropdown menu to let me Remame "dasha" back to DAZZLER Admin I went back and found out how I got into this mess by trying to fix it myself. Even though I was using a Tutorial it's about of one word in the Tutorial thats spelt as "expandable" in the preable leading too "REG_EXPAND_SZ, (dasha) I did not pick up on the word meaning as being just that "EXPAND" no capital's "E" I went straight past it to Profile List Sid RE_DWORD_SZ I altered the wrong SID? If we can just sort out the Reg-Mess I have made and leave the original "DAZZLER Admin" as an Administrator Acc and the original Administrator as an Administror account there please see Screen Clips I would greatly appreciate it. TIA Regards Dasha Re-posted at

    Hi, in case it's not possible for someone to try to sort this out for you, did you take the advice specifically in the tutorial to create a current disk image before attempting this?

    (Here's the link to that tutorial I found for you):
    Change Name of User Profile Folder in Windows 10



    And you'll be aware of the endlessly repeated advice to use disk imaging.

    IF you have, you can reverse what you've done and try again.
