    My /user/ directory is not connected to my desktop or sign in directory


    I am running to this issue on my new microsoft surface computer where I am using the command line which is sourced to my /user/name but is not connected to my desktop or personal folders I've created. This is presenting a problem in a class I'm doing because I cannot connect to some applications and I cannot create folders on my desktop. I suspect this has to do with the sign in and set-up I have and is connected to one drive ??? Does anyone have suggestions for how to solve this...

    :)

    User directory name shortened

    My user directory seems to be shortened to C:\Users\harle, which is quite an eyesore to be honest. It's protected from changing the name, and directly changing the name would probably mess things up anyway. Though, Is there still any way I can change it
    to Harley?

    How to change My User directory Name?

    Hello,

    I have my user directory with half my email address. I want to change the user name and directory name to whatever I want

    How to do that? I have seen some guides advising to create new user account in this PC, but I cant create new account with the same email address.

    I rather user directory be same as the name of the PC

    Moved from: (Windows / Windows 10 / Install, upgrade, & activate)

    My /user/ directory is not connected to my desktop or sign in directory

    Admin user directory truncated name!!

    I've got my Win10 user account info displayed, it's an admin account and there is my outlook email account attached. When I drill down to my user directory in file explorer under users the directory name is my first name truncated. So for example if the admin account was called Simon Murphy the user directory name is "Simo". I only noticed this after reinstalling Windows several weeks ago.

    I've no idea how this happened but it looks stupid and I'd like to correct this so I'm wondering how do I go about this.
