  1. Changed name in regedit and now everything is gone


    I was trying to change the name of my computer and I typed in the command to the command prompt, but instead of clicking enter I just completed the next step which was to open regedit and change the name in hkey_local_machine/software/Microsoft/windowsnt/current version/profilelist and clicked on sid number, then clicked on profile image path value and then entered the new user name. Then restarted the computer and now I can only boot into a temp user account.

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.
