6. Next, open the System window in Control Panel and click the
Advanced system settings link on the left side.
7. Under the Advanced tab, in the User Profiles section, click Settings.
8. Highlight the user account you just created and customized, and click
Copy To.
9. In the Copy To window, click Browse, select the C:\Users\Default User
folder, and click OK.
10. Click OK and then answer Yes to initiate the copy. Windows will delete
the contents of the Default User folder, replacing them with the ones
you??™ve just customized.
When it??™s done, the new settings you??™ve created will be in place to be used
as the template for new user accounts. If you like, you can go ahead and
delete the temporary account you created in the first step.
Rename Your Profile Folder
If you??™ve ever uploaded a file to a web site or used a peer-to-peer file sharing
program (see Chapter 6), you??™ve probably noticed that it??™s possible in some
circumstances for others to see the full path of the files you??™re sharing. (This
doesn??™t apply to the file sharing system discussed later in this chapter,
thankfully.)
This means that if you upload the file personal.doc to a web site, the web site
might be able to record that the full path of the file is actually:
C:\Users\Guy Q. Incognito\Documents\Some stuff of mine\personal.doc
And there it is: your full name.
Now, you can??™t fix this by renaming your account with the User Accounts
window in Control Panel.
