Took the bull by the horns, deleted the user and all the directories, created a new user using the Administrator account and all is working normally,
Change username error
I was attempting to change my username and something has gone wrong. I tried a fix but made things worse.
The machine has 2 users, User1 (me) & User2
now I have changed my username but and can login but there are 7 user folders Public and User2 are unchanged but there are 5 user1 directories.
DirName Contents
1, Old username Empty folder
2, New username AppData (corrupt)
3, New username.Hostname My original files
4, TEMP My Original files
5,TEMP.Hostname My Original Files
I think my original error was caused by changing my username in Registry - ProfileList while loged into my account not as Adminintrator. Is there a way out?
