Steps to change the user folder name in C drive\Users
the PROBLEM is that the SID account is supposed to have "Full Name= USER" what im seeig is the following:
AccountType=512
Description=
Disabled=FALSE
Domain=DESKTOP-9CPMI9U
FullName=
InstallDate=
LocalAccount=TRUE
Lockout=FALSE
Name=USER
PasswordChangeable=TRUE
PasswordExpires=FALSE
PasswordRequired=FALSE
SID=S-1-5-21-1709890065-1192058461-640584522-1001
SIDType=1
Status=OK
The other values are "degraded" and this is the only that has OK status

my sistem is currently in portuguese (i live in brazil) and the name in c/:users is displayed as c:/Usuario i prefer to make it user to differentiate between the folders . hence i want to change the name to user. but maybe its not worth the risk ?
my older user name was "USER" as well. my pc recently had a backup. but its displaying as "Usuario" in the folder although in "properties" it appears as "USER" .

Steps to change the user folder name in C drive\Users
- Create a system restore point
- Note down the SID value for the target user account
- Create a temporary Admin account
- log in to new account
- Change the user folder name via command prompt
- .Point the username to the new folder name via the registry
- .log in to the actual account
- Delete the temporary user account. This is the safest way to rename the user folder name. Note: It is advised to create a System Restore point or take a full backup before following any Windows tutorial.
