    I messed up. Please help!


    I had one user account on my Windows 10 and i wanted to change the User folder name. So following this tutorial, https://youtu.be/XASJTN8Sr1I ,

    1. Created a temporary user account with administrative privileges and signed into it.
    2. Went to the registry editor and changed the ProfileImagePath of the corresponding original account.
    3. Went to the Users folder and when i tried to rename the original user folder name it showed an error saying the folder or a file from that folder was currently in use.

    Then i signed out of the temp account and signed into the original one. But now there is nothing on the desktop. It says the desktop folder was not found. The start menu isn't working either. Please help me fix this if possible!
