Hey I really need some help guys!
Okay so what happened was I had a fake name for my hotmail email that I used to install win 8 with. It was called John McElroy. Then when I had installed win 8 I realised it said John McElroy everywhere so I logged into hotmail and changed my name to my real name which starts with Zac. Most things changed to my real name now however the user folder located in my computer > c drive > users is still called "John" any way to change it to my real name? There is a rename option when I right click however when I try change it it says you can not change this folder as it is being used by another program or something like that (I'm paraphrasing everything at the moment as I am not in front of the computer at the moment) however nothing is open. I also have admin priviledged obviously. I have already tried deleting that user account and making a new one but the folder is still called John. Everything else has my real name. Will reinstalling windows solve this? If it won't I don't want to do it but if it will then I will do it. Thanks guys please help.
Also If this is posted in the wrong section I apologise but none of the other sections really matched my problem. I know I'm new but a suggestion is perhaps add an "other" section?
