When I first installed Windows 7 like ten years ago, I entered my Russian name in Cyrillic. When I saw that the system created a directory with exactly that name under `C:\Users\` I immediately scanned the internet for a way to rename it and done just that. I don't want to know how much mess like that in a story I thus had successfully escaped.
NB: the method is still the same, it's a second (not accepted) answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/890812/how-to-rename-the-user-folder-in-windows-10 https://superuser.com/questions/890812/how-to-rename-the-use... (about ProfileImagePath registry value).
- vertis 5y agoThis is sad though. You shouldn't have to change who you are for a computer program.
- GoblinSlayer 5y agoIs "vertis" who you are? There's more to a human, than a name.
- SergeAx 5y agoI have this lower ASCII handle since about 1990, I beleive. That was the time when you just can't do literally anything without one.
