    Administrator name misspelled

    If you care about the display name that shows on the login screen and some other places, you can do this:

    • Right-click Start, choose Run
    • Run the command NETPLWIZ and click OK
    • Open Properties for the account you care about, and change the name

    If you need to change the folder name under C:\Users, your only option is to create a new user account (in settings) and then delete the old user account that had the mis-spelled name.
