So yesterday I got a new laptop running Windows 10. The Windows version is Greek, which to me isn't the most ideal thing since it makes comparing my system with internet instructions etc. a pain. But I'm running across a bigger problem now; a lot of the system's file system is also translated, which is to say, the Users folder is called Χρήστες, Program Files is called Αρχεία Εφαρμογών, and a lot of things in general are in Greekrunes. This means dropbox cannot run. It looks for a Program Files folder, and it looks for a Users folder, and those don't exist. Dropbox loving shipped with the machine. I am pessimistic about the prospects, but is there any painless way to completely change the system language?

Rusty! posted:I would just grab a disc and reinstall it with the right language. I resolved it by installing the English language pack (which I'd thought I did, but it was actually just the input language). Dropbox still has issues but that's something I need to take up to their tech support instead of Windows'.

^ I tried going to C:\Users before I changed the language pack and it told me the folder didn't exist. Maybe it's case sensitive and I typed it all lowercase or something, idk.Rusty! posted:That fixed the file system stuff as well? Colour me surprised. Useful to know, though. Unless the displayed folder name is just a display name and not the real name, yes.

Ok, a real issue seems to be that my user account's name (and thus folder name) is in non-latin script. Looking stuff up for changing the username I see as recommendations either manual registry editing to do the switch or making a new account and switching everything over to that. Is there really no other way of going on about it?

Alright, thanks. Will that mess with programs that have stuff in my current account's appdata folder and the like? e; gently caress it, it's only been a day so I might as well just set everything up from the ground up YF-23 fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jul 5, 2016 |

The problem was the folder name though, not the login name. A bunch of installers saw non-latin script and would absolutely have none of it.

Default on my 15.6" 1920x1080 is 125% and it's hilariously bad with a lot of stuff. Thankfully, not enough stuff that it's a dealbreaker, but it gets pretty bad at times. e; Compare window title w/ content.

Is there a way to make File Explorer display selected file metadata at the bottom? I can do with the Details Pane open, but I prefer the less obtrusive 2-line display at the bottom of the explorer window like W7 Windows Explorer did.
