Everything is filed under old owner's name

[randgee]

Groovy,My kid borrowed my HP Pavilion with Windows 10, named the computer, added his name as owner and administrator. Now I have it back but every document I file has the path:

C:\Users\Kids_Name\Documents\filename.ext ("Kids_Name" used to protect the innocent)

Question: How can I unlock and rename the master file called C:\Users\Kids_Name where all documents are stored? The file "Kids_Name" is locked and I can't find a way to unlock it to change the file name to my name. I've changed users and named me as the administrator. I can't move files out of "Kids_Name" nor can I delete, nor can I rename it to "Dads_Name" because it's locked.

Seems like this should be simple but it sure has me stumped!

Dads_Name

Hi "Dads_Name"

What I would do is Create a new username in Windows then copy all the files from that old profile into your new profile. Problem solved. I say this because renaming a user can cause problems because the path is already set and it won't be easy.

Here is a how to - http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/create-a-new-user-account-in-windows-7/

Make sure to make the new user Administrator. Do you know how to do that?

It looks like your kid has just renamed your computer, if this is the case then you should be able to change it back quite easily.

There are instructions here - http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/vista/change-your-windows-computer-name/
