Username is just email on Windows

0

When I created my account on my computer, I chose to link it to my Microsoft account. My username (user directory name, other stuff too) is #####_000 where ##### is the first five letters of my email address.

This has only been mildly annoying until recently when I got into Rainmeter and all the account widgets say "Hello, #####_000!" rather than "Hello, [my actual name]!"

Is there a way for me to fix this?

Rainmeter is pretty configurable. Can't you edit it there? – LPChip – 2015-04-13T21:01:11.157

@LPChip Technically I could, but that doesn't change the fact that any other program that looks wherever you look to find the username will find #####_000. – spelchekr – 2015-04-13T21:03:36.207

I know. Thats why I didn't post this as an answer. Just in case it seems impossible. – LPChip – 2015-04-13T21:19:51.780
