It may provide better result, but it's a serious registry modification and you can break something, so make full system backup before trying. I have also googled some user directory renaming guide, but I haven't tested it too. Be careful to work on the new copy, not original user directory. Windows should recreate them when needed. (you can also delete other Microsoft-related folders in Local, LocalLow and Roaming). In case of any problems you can delete following directories: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft Then you can try to boot some LiveCD distro of Linux, delete the new account's folder and replace it with a copy of the first one (effectively substituting new account folder with the old one). The easiest solution I can think of (but I haven't tested it) is to create a new user account. Renaming an account doesn't affect user directory's name to avoid breaking absolute paths. Unfortunately there's no Microsoft-recommended method of renaming user directories. You probably mean your username, not computer name.
