  1. How to change administrator username?


    Hi,

    I have for local disk C user name of 2 words, my name and surname. Some games like Minecraft won't run because Java cant handle user with [Name, blank space, surname] (class cant be defined with two word separated by space). For example, my address for a user is C:\Users\John Smith
    Please help me change this in the most simple way if it's possible.
