    User name in Windows 10 directory is not correct


    When installing Windows 10 on my laptop, the user directory name only contains the first five letters of my first name. Is this normal? I reset my laptop and reinstalled Windows 10 but have the same result. I was never prompted for this information.

    :)

    Correct Directory Location For Pictures Folder


    "Now Documents, Videos etc say file location is This PC. But Pictures file location is C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures."

    If we understand you correctly, the issue is that Pictures doesn't appear in the left panel under This PC. The correct location IS C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures. This is only an issue of using Step 8 in the tutorial to add it back to the list. See if this screenshot is what you want to achieve- put Pictures folder back in list on L.
