    I changed my profile name. I just want to return my old name. Can anyone help me?


    I have a problem, which is that I changed the name of the profile and I accidentally wrote a bad and long name. I did not know that I would have to wait 30 days to change it again. The biggest problem is that when I entered one of the servers that I play on a lot, I found that it entered me as if I were a new player and I did not have anything on the server. I just wanted to I want to return my old name. Can anyone help me? I am not ready to lose my progress on that server

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Need help with changing name of user profile folder

    I would like to change the name of the user profile folder. I have found and tried a few methods including one from Microsoft forums. None of them worked. I kept getting something about my User needing to sign out and back in again that there was a problem, so I would sign out and back in again and it didn't work. I think the reason is because Windows created a TEMP user and would log me in under that so there would be a folder named C/User/TEMP and still the original named folder of C/User/myuserfolder.

    I found this on the forums here: Change Name of User Profile Folder in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    The instructions are very similar to what I have tried. In the above post John W used safe mode. Do I need to go through all the steps again as listed in the post and then go into safe mode, or can I just use safe mode to change the folder name?

    Also, are there newer instructions for how to do this with updates to Windows since the above thread was posted over a year ago?

    Thanks in advance.
