Local setting folder not accessible

Hi,

This PC\Windows(C:)\Users\user\LocalSettings is the same location as...

This PC\Windows(C:)\Users\user\AppData\Local...

Strange, I know... but true... The permission requirements are different...

If you go to Control Panel and set the "View" to small icons, you will see "User Accounts" as it was in Windows 7... This allows more options than the Windows 10 "Accounts"..

There is a button to change your account name... In my opinion, this is something that has some risk involved... You might want to make a backup image of your windows partition first...

Hello Jackie, I understand that you are having some trouble accessing the Local folder. You may want to try accessing through the AppData. Right click on the bottom left Windows icon, then click on Run. Now, type in "%appdata%", and hit enter. It should bring up the Roaming file. Navigate one folder down to the AppData, then try accessing the Local folder from there.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions! :-)

Hi,

Try opening the AppData folder, then the Local folder in the AppData location...

There were some security changes made that made this more complicated..

That is not the Local folder I am wanting to get into. I'm sorry, I should have included the path to the one I need. this is the path: 

This PC\Windows(C:)\Users\user\LocalSettings. 

It is a hidden folder. I can not connect to SQL server using MySQL Workbench. I keep getting Error message 10060. I think I need to change my.cnf file.

Since I am asking, I have another question, too. I don't know how to change Window(C:)\Users\user to Windows(C:)\Users"my_name" in Windows 10. Can you tell me that also?
