My logon name is royin and hence , I have an appropriate folder in :

enter image description here

Can I rename this folder to something else ? ( of course - not just rename , but letting the system know that from now on this is the folder).

The real scenario is that I bought a computer with a user named "Admin" and they installed all the soft under this user. and so , I want to change it to royin.

  • @Oliver Salzburg♦ , my question doesnt talk about microsoft account whereas your solution does answer to a question which is regarding microsoft account . – Royi Namir May 02 '13 at 12:58
  • My answer isn't the only one in that question. Either way, does the described process not work for you? – Oliver Salzburg May 02 '13 at 13:56
  • @OliverSalzburg I don't want to take any chances on my machine. and I don't think that Microsoft account is like a regular user profile account.and that's why I think its not a dup. (my opinion :-) – Royi Namir May 02 '13 at 14:17
  • @OliverSalzburg also , the other answer on other question is regarding _Windows XP/Vista_. (he actually bolds it). and besides , the question itself is **tagged** as Microsoft account. so its definitely not a dup. ( IMHO). – Royi Namir May 02 '13 at 14:25
