Windows 10: Default Users

Hi there,

I've got my Windows 10 that came with a laptop I bought about an year ago. I wasn't using it so much and I am not much of a geek anymore. Before I used to customise absolutely everything that I have to touch. Well I still got some of that and at the moment there is something that bugles me.

I've got both:

C:\Users\ermen
C:\Users\petyo

In both of them I have the original folders for pictures, documents, video etc. Seems that this ermen folder is the master path (I don't even know how to call this) and all default links are associated with it. Currently I have around 30gb worth of files in it and only 1mb worth of files in petyo folder.

Why do I have this ermen folder? Why is it associated with my account? Why not petyo (see, my name)?

I would have never done this and it is a mystery how happened so. I couldn't find answers how to merge the two, couldn't just rename ermen (I could rename petyo) and it bugles me that my files are in C:\Users\ermen path.

I hope you get me guys. What would you suggest?

Thank you!

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
