User Profile Folder - Change User Account Folder Name

Hi,

I did this process successfully, so thank you. However all my Word docs etc and Outlook now no longer work. I tried pointing them at the new location but no success. How can I get Word, Outlook etc to work?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean change them back? use the system restore? I really need to change the user name as it is in Japanese characters and some programs will not work without the change. they work now, but my email does not.

Ok, that may be easiest. Thank you.

Thank you Brink!
I have spendt 2 days trying to work my way around this problem but no luck.
You saved me Thank you!

Thank you so much...You're the greatest

Hello Brink, I have followed your tuto (im using windows 8.1) but when i get to change the old user name account in netplwiz (18 step) it says that "User Name X could not be changed", dont know why the access is denied if it's an admin account, any ideas? - I'm a bit desperate xD

Thanks for the quick answer. I see, then I'll probably do that. It is a bit inconvenient having to reinstall everything but perhaps most quick thing to do. ^^
