microsoft account - How to rename user folder in Windows 8?

When I log in on a Windows 8 machine for the first time with my Microsoft Account (by providing an e-mail address), a new user folder is created:


C:\Users\dzinx_000

In previous versions of Windows, I could choose the name of this folder (it was equal to my username). As I use the commandline often, it is quite annoying to me.



  • Can I somehow rename it to dzinx?

  • Does simply renaming the folder break everything?
