    How can I customize my username including user folder on a fresh installation?


    Windows defaults my user folder name without my permission or approval any time I install windows using my Microsoft account.With this, my user folder comes out to "panth" and that is unacceptable for me, I want the folder to say "panther"I have tired a method involving changing the registry key which allowed me to change the user folder, but when I try to install software I still see the name "panth" as the user account shown so I don't think this is the correct method to do this.What can I do to create my account the way I want to without being forced to use the first 5 letters of my accoun

    :)

    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.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



    The limit of 4 custom puzzles is due to the UserPuzzles folder being full. To add more than 4 custom puzzles, I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

    • Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location:
    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftJigsaw_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\UserPuzzles\UserPuzzlesPack

    Note: UserName is your username.

    • Delete or Rename the folder
      UserPuzzles inside UserPuzzlesPack.
    • Delete or Rename the file:
      puzzles.xml
    • Exit File Explorer and try creating the custom puzzles again.


    If you’re speaking about moving the user puzzle files, you may copy it to any desired location. For more information, I suggest you to go through
    Microsoft Casual Games FAQ and post the query in
    the Casual Games community.



    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    How can I customize my username including user folder on a fresh installation?

    How to pin c-users-username to quick access not the desktop library of username?

    EDIT: Pinning c-users-username-(folder) functions normally it is specifically c-users-username that is the problem I have tested three devices all running windows home updated and basic installation.

    Whenever I pin c-users-username to quick access it changes to a library with a symbol of a person and the path is just my username. Anyone know how to override this and pin c-users-username?

    I have that folder customized and that customization is lost whenever it loads library view. So I guess being able to customize this library is a valid workaround anyone know how to do that?
