And this is tangential question to both your first half of the message and the username part. You can have your profile stored anywhere you desire, especially if this is a completely new profile. 1. Create profile (by login, SIMPLE!) 2. Log out of your profile and login as Administrator. 3. Change profile location of your user to what you desire (See HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList key) 4. Trash/rename your existing user's profile. If this is a new profile you don't care about, just trash it and save yourself the time and effort. 5. Log out of Administrator account and login to your user's. 6. Disable Administrator's account. Neither of this is on topic in this list. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, February 18, 2022 9:05:48 Sorry for my terrible english...
