    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

  3. Change User Account Folder name

    You might be able to solve your problem by setting up a symbolic link. Here is the general principle:

    • Create the folder C:\Users\JohnDoe.
    • Open an elevated Command Prompt.
    • Type this command:

      mklink /d C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents C:\Users\DanE\Documents
    When you now save files to C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents, they will actually appear in the folder C:\Users\DanE\Documents.

    Folder showing different number of items for different users.

    You now need to identify at least one file that is invisible to some users, then check how it differs from other files. Working at the command prompt with commands such as dir /a "filename", attrib "filename" or icacls "filename" might help.
