Actually the problem is that whenever I am changing my user account names it the change is takes place but not in the whole system I mean it doesn’t change the name of the corresponding folder. I want to know that why after changing the account name it does not change the corresponding user’s folder name in windows 7.

I think you are getting something wrong from your friend as there no way to change the folder name while you will change the user account name. So live it as it is as you cannot perform such action in the C drive of the system if you will try to do something like this then it will not takes place. So go to your friend and ask him whether he is performing this action in the C drive or in any other drive. In the last I would like to tell you that you are wasting your time to do so as this is by design in windows. Hope this information was useful.

It sort of overcomes the worth of altering the account name if you require keeping in mind and using the older name at whatever time you are by means of the directory arrangement. The entire point to altering the name as of what the producer set up is to build my life easier. But if I require utilizing 2 dissimilar account names for the similar account depending on what I'm burden that create my life more hard not easier. If this action is "by design" it entitles into query the result process when creating the design.
