I looked but couldn't find it. I might have not looked long enough, but I was wondering if there was a way to rename my user folder under
C:\Users\USER. Right now, my user folder is "jamed". I have no idea why it named it to that. My profile is my name. Can I make my user folder to match the profile name?
