C:\users\susan\

I didn't like my name was incomplete, it was "susan" insted of "susanta" in users folder. So i searched on internet to how to change it.

What I did: Win + r, searched "netplwiz", opened up a window called User Accounts, I select on the the only account(admin account), I click on properties, it opens up a new window allowing me to change my username, I change my username and click apply. But still the folder name is "susan". Then i can't find my account on the users list where I changed it. Then i think restart could solve my problem, But when i restart it won't boot up and can't auto repair.

Please help.please....

    you are looking for the settings in the Run.. program systempropertiesadvanced

    user profiles.

    there problem will still persist there as the options to delete and copy to may not be available.

    it has to be easy. in the case you have a problem with no available options. the solution must be in the environment variables. there are a bunch of temp directories that are never administrator specific but are user included.

    These are the error getting (screenshots) when i am trying to start my laptop.

    Stop Code- CRITICAL PROCESS DIED

    The problem is is due to what i did is, first pressed Windows key+ R, then type netplwiz and pressed ok like the screenshot.  

    After that a new window opened like the below screenshot.

    The screenshot have many users...but i have only one user name which was administrator user. Then i select the user and click on properties and change the user name to Susanta, which was previously susan. 

    After that when i again go to the user section by pressing Windows key+ R , and then type netplwizi did not find any users. Then i restart the laptop. After that the problem occers.the laptop did not boot up.
