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....

    Have a look at the screenshot. I ran the Registry Editor using command prompt. And in the ProfileList i did not find any users. Tell me a solution if you can? Because firstly i want a simple solution to solve this problem.          

    WOW. Dude. I seen this problem before.

    Right now your files are somewhere in the same registry location but are in a different bucket. They are in some folder labeled TEMP or RECYCLE in the registry.

    It does mean that you will have to migrate the files back to the original location manually.

    Well the Find command does that Ctrl+F, Usually looking for ProfileImagePath; keys, whole string only

    F3 to find next object.

    I am trying to find the best solution to download Lenovo recovery media without an account. Since I know that you might not have access to the account at all. But, neither do I. I realised I have a task to do.
