    changing user name in drive c

    Hi Ruthann

    Do you need to change that drive name or the name on your user folder inside C:\Users?

    If that is your user folder name, Microsoft advise against changing that, however, if you do wish to change that, trusted MVP Shawn Brink provides a method on this page:
