Windows 10 new istallation wrong user name for user folder

The suggested solution does not address the question.

After installation of windows 10, it has renamed my C:\Users\pittman
(<- correct) folder to

C:\Users\pittm (<- incorrect). How can we rename this folder without affecting programs and directories that now point to the renamed folder C:\Users\pittm

 

Renaming the users folders

Hello!

Is it possible ton rename the user folder without generating a mess in the system? Here is an example to explain my question:

Let's say the user's name is Sebastian. When Windows is creating an new account on a computer, the system creates a folder called 'sebast' in C:\Users. (C:\Users\sebast)

If Sebastian wants to rename this folder in C:\Users\Sebastian (for aesthetic reason), is it possible? How?

Thank's in advance for any help

 

Here's how to do it... BUT... it takes a while and is quite involved.

Why not create another user, say Shraavan.
Make sure make Shraavanan is an administrator.
Copy/save your themes, files and/or settings over to Shraavan.
Log off then back on as Shraavan.
Now delete the old user account (it world).

 

Thanks..... it helped....
