Where does netplwiz store/read it's username list?

Hi,

I would like to know where netplwiz gets it list of usernames from to implement it into C# code for retrieving usernames. This would be a great help and a better method than getting it from ProfileList in the registry if the user hasn't created it's profile
yet.

Many Thanks,

Aramus

 

Username change in C: drive

I tried to change my username in powershell and now when I run as admin in powershell, Get-LocalUser gives me the username that I tried adding. Although in cmd window, c:\Users still shows the old one.

And in cmd window, it reads user - Alias not found if I type wmic user account list full .
