Copying user profile
I needed to update my laptop and used Windows Easy transfer. When I copied the files back using Easy Transfer, I incorrectly created the user account. So when I click on Users, I see a locked icon and the name Carol. It should be Mark. All of my copied documents (my docs, pictures, etc) are now in the wrongly named directly with the user name Carol. I can't figure out how to correct this issue and don't want to "rebuild" the computer again. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jasper0514, You do not need to rebuild the computer. Logon the computer as administrator then create a new user account, and move the user profile to that new one.
