    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

    :)

    How to change 'USERNAME' inside 'USER PROFILES' in WIN10?

    Run the command netplwiz and double-click your name in the list there.

    Then change the "username" shown.

    We suggest that you follow these steps to stop getting the security prompt:

    • Right-click on the Windows button, and choose Run.
    • Type: netplwiz
    • Deselect Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.
    • Click OK, and it will prompt you for the password to save changes.
