    How do I change my default user folder in Windows 11?


    I want to change the folder name from the beginning of my email address it shows "commi" to my first name. If I select more options when right-clicking the folder I don't have the rename option.

    :)

    Deletion of Default folder under Users folder

    I'm using windows 11 and accidentally deleted a Default folder under Users, no system backup was performed prior to these. The Default folder is permanently deleted any chance to restore it back. Will it effect already created users??

    Any suggestion would be more then helpful !!
