I want to change the command prompt user name being displayed to bilesh instead of biles

enter image description here

I used the following command.

wmic useraccount where name='biles' rename name bilesh

Which was successful. Then, I restarted the machine. But the folder name was not updated.

Any way I can do this without breaking anything?

    User folder cannot be changed due to its integration onto the registry, everything else can, log in etc...All you can do to get a new user account folder name is create a new user account and migrate the old account to the new one. – Moab Jun 19 '18 at 16:36
  • Also, your syntax in command prompt is wrong. See this answer on what it is supposed to be: https://superuser.com/questions/1159929/how-to-change-windows-user-name-in-cmd/1159931#1159931 – LPChip Jun 19 '18 at 17:03
  • @Moab the wmic command should change the registry items too. – LPChip Jun 19 '18 at 17:04
  • @LPChip I did fire the correct command... Just wrote it wrong here... Sorry for that... – Bilesh Ganguly Jun 19 '18 at 19:47
