Umm... because it isn't?

Here's how you do it:

regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList > change ProfileImagePath > boom done!

Not that hard at all.

Umm .. no doesnt work

>>58986748
I think this was possible in win7.

You can't do it in Linux either...

>>58987880

serious question here,

how do you think your kids will go through school? knowing their father is a failure who gets paid in bing points to post on a Bangladeshi textiles, kniting and sewing forum? this is worse than being a meter maid

>>58987900
Tell me how to do it in Linux then... protip... you can't...

>>58987914
because it's not a rename, the data must be copied over. if you've got a full drive and don't know how to use robocopy you're fucked.

>>58987146
Yes it does, I'm a Windows sysadmin and I do that literally everyday, you fag, except I use it to migrate Active Directory profiles.

>>58987995
Graphically, faggot. On Windows you can also do this through powershell or regedit. See >>58987045

>>58988007
It is graphically displayed on your monitor :^) checkmate atheists

>>58987951
MOVE != COPY data
Holy shit you're double retarded

>>58987991

it literally says in the picture that this does break functionalities you autist

>sysadmin

lmao ... loser

>>58988082
What picture? I've never seen any break in functionality. Unless, of course, you do it wrong. Git gud.

>>58987951
Renaming and moving is the same thing.

>>58986748
This is why I don't keep anything important on an account folder and just keep any data on another drive/partition.

>>58988382

It's more accurate to say you can't change the C:\users\<username> folder name of the logged in user. For a home PC, you'd have to make a temp admin account first, then change the reg path + profile directory name from there.

It looks like the guy in OP didn't even attempt to change the directory if he didn't cop it.
