After installing Windows 10 on my [Surface Pro 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_Pro_3) it took my user name 'Jeremy' and created a user folder named `C:\Users\jerem`.
Je veux rename the folder `C:\Users\Jeremy`. [The procedure for Windows 8](https://superuser.com/questions/495290/how-to-rename-user-folder-in-windows-8?lq=1) ne fonctionne pas. There are a couple of reasons.
- OneDrive is now a fully integrated part of the OS, and it completely breaks. A find/replace in le registre seems to work, but it's hard to be confident in that approach.
- Quand le computer is rebooted, the TabletInputService writes a TextHarvester.dat file to the old profil utilisateur location (creating it if needed). This makes it impossible to keep the folder deleted. An old [solution found online](https://tengototen.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/deleted-user-profiles-reappear-with-textharvester-dat/) doesn't work. This issue also causes an error message to pop up every time the computer boots.
Comment renommer le dossier utilisateur dans Windows 10 ?
Re: Comment renommer le dossier utilisateur dans Windows 10 ?
Cela peut être fait without folder renaming and messing with registry:
-
Create a local account with the user name you wish.
- *Local account creation is well hidden; here is how to find it:*
Settings > Accounts > Family & Other users > Other users > Add someone else to this PC > The person Je veux add doesn't have an email address > Add a user without Microsoft account
-
Change account type to administrator (can skip if there is other administrator).
-
Remove original Microsoft linked account
-
Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish
