But you can change the location of your profile
folder without renaming your account; here??™s how:
1. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to C:\Users. Create a new, empty
folder here. This will be your new home folder, so name it whatever you
like.
2. Next, use the User Accounts window in Control Panel to create a new,
temporary, administrator account on your PC.

3. Log off and then log on to the new account.
4. Open the System window in Control Panel and click the Advanced system
settings link on the left side.
5. Under the Advanced tab, in the User Profiles section, click Settings.
6. Highlight your user account (the old one you want to move) and click
Copy To.
7. In the Copy To window, click Browse, select the folder in C:\Users you
created in the first step, and click OK.
8. Click OK again and then answer Yes to initiate the copy.
9. Now, use the Folder Options window in Control Panel to show hidden
files and folders in Windows Explorer, as explained in Chapter 2.
10. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to your old home folder (e.g., C:\
Users/Guy Q. Incognito).
11. Press Ctrl-A to select everything in your home folder, and then, holding
the Ctrl button, drag the selected files into the new location. When Windows
asks whether you want to replace a file that already exists, turn on
the Do this for the next x conflicts option, and then click Don??™t copy.
12. When it??™s done, open the Start menu, type lusrmgr.
