  1. Modify the temporary user profile


    Hi,

    Many family members and their children come to my house and use my laptop. However, several times, they have wrecked my personal user account.

    I have setup a local account for this matter, called Visitor. In the users folder, I renamed 'visitor' to 'visitor1', so that the account would reset everytime they logged out, so no damage done to the account.

    However, the account comes preloaded with candy crush saga, edge, and all the default start menu layout.

    Can I change the temporary account look and feel so that the visitor account logs in with a specific look, with specific apps and tile arrangements?

    Thank you

    :)

    I'm keeping loosing my documents

    That doesn't tell me whether you are being logged in with a temporary profile. In a temporary profile, system configuration changes and files created and modified are forgotten. That's how to suspect that you are not working in your own user profile.

  3. How to modify user Microsoft user account profile path

    Hi,

    We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

    I understand that you want to modify the User profile path.

    Please be informed that, you cannot modify the profile path of the Microsoft user account. As you are signed in to the computer using the Microsoft account, the profile path will make use the Microsoft account details which you provided at the time
    of creating Microsoft account. Anyway, you may perform the below workaround if you wish. Change the details of your Microsoft account by signing in to the Microsoft account through below link.

    https://account.microsoft.com/profile#/edit-name

    After you modify the details on your Microsoft account, your profile path will change accordingly after signing into the computer.

    Note: If you are signed in to the Local account, you can modify the profile path as it is not connected to the Microsoft account.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
