There are many guides about this if you use google.
But the short summary on how I did it:
1. Create a new administrator account. (control panel, user account, add new user)
2. Log off your current account
3. Log in to the newly created account
4. Go to user management again, and change the user name of your own account. Choose a name without any special characters.
5. Then open file manager and locate your user folder, usually C:\Users"your name" and change the name of your folder to the same as the new name you did choose for your account.
6. Open Regedit. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
Below that structure there will be a few more "folders" named something like S-1-5-x etc.
Choose the one that is for your account. You will se your account name on the right side, at the ProfileImagePath
Right-click on ProfileImagePath and choose Modify.
Change the path to match the change you did for your user folder.
Thats it, log out, and log into your account again. Hopefully everything should be working now.
If all is ok, you can delete the admin account your created earlier.
