Hi there is a small problem - when I installed the seventh Windows user named Habib, respectively, my folder was called as well. But some programs (Android SDK for example) cannot work with paths containing Cyrillic. I tried to change the username-did not help. Tell me how to change the name of the folder for example on Khabih.

Thank you in advance

    Easier than digging in the registry - to create a new user, with a name in Latin (say, "Khabih"), install a program on his behalf, and give her the right to run "for everyone."

    And you can also make a user with a roaming profile. There you can manually set the location of the profile folder.

    • The name of the user, as nosensus advises, of course you can! But this will not change the name of the working folder, but will simply create an alias, so this number will not work, and khamur (topstarter) looks like, and he was convinced of this. - areshin

    In theory, this is in the registry, but there is still a bunch of records that refer to your old user, you will not change all the records?)

      You rename the profile in computer management via mmc console, or in the control panel, then you open the registry and find it there, replace all references to the old account with the name of the new one.

      Another option is to create a new user and copy the old profile to a new one.

      Well, you can again create a new user in the system, and then in the registry, change one parameter in the key, here in this container, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList look for your account and change ProfileImagePath to the desired one. It should earn, after LogOff (although sometimes new accounts are created and this method does not always work).

        Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts On this path, you can change anything you like. Only after the change, do not forget to reboot or do Log off

        • This, unfortunately, does not work with programs that do not use the recommended variables% USER%,% CURRENT_USER%, etc., but remember the named paths. There may be serious problems. - Viktor Tomilov
