Why does the account have such a folder name?

Question

Windows

The other day I watched a vidos one foreign where a dude has an account on Windows 7 and the folder is called (I don’t remember the exact name, but in two words) well, about Ivan Ivanov, I never bothered, but I looked at a dozen and an account with the name Artyom, and the folder on the disk is like this - C:\Users\artyo

What kind of game is this? )

Answer 1

What is this game? )

and this is your game . to say something in more detail about a specific name - you would have to hold a candle (look over your shoulder) while creating a profile ..
in general:
- Windows tries to create a profile folder, exactly like a username, at the time of the first login to system, this account
- if such a folder exists, there can be any combination of name and ~1(or (1)) .. or other numbers, long or short (8.3) version of the username .. there may be variations имя.домен.. it depends on the version of Windows
- after the profile folder is created, the user can be renamed. but in this case the profile folder is not renamed either when
psI myself like that the names of the folders were on the topic . if something went wrong , when creating a profile (well, or just wanted to rename it) - I backup all the important data, including the profile settings of applications. I am deleting my profile completely . I re-enter the system (a folder with an empty profile is created) .. and restore documents, studio projects, application settings folders there .. in general, everything I wanted to save
