Why did Windows 10 rename my profile folder from "ericlaw" to "ericlaw.000" and how do I fix it?

Rather than the notepad approach, can't you have regedit literally load the other user's hive? Been a few years since I've needed to even try that. You could also be lazy and just make a hard link for the .000 folder so it's effectively an alias of the non-suffixed folder (yuk)

The loading isn't the problem, the lack of Search/Replace in regedit is. I ended up doing the mklink thing in lieu of reinstalling Windows.

By exporting the entire loaded hive to a .REG file, then using Notepad’s Search and Replace, then reimporting the export? Just an idea.

I think it very unlikely that this would work (ACLs, for instance).

Clone your computer and give it a try in a VM, maybe

Treat all my ideas with care and do a backup first …
