[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1833155, member: 175845"] I can recall having trouble capitalizing a user's name when setting up various users or some clients, and I think it started around Mavericks time that using a capital for the username was discouraged or just not allowed or just unknown or too akward and invloved to attempt. If and when it didn't work I just gave up and didn't bother with it anymore and it seemed the OS X was happy with things that way. And I'm pretty sure I never went through the procedure that is outlined here: [I][B]macOS Sierra Home Folder Capitalization[/B][/I] [url=https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-sierra-home-folder-capitalization.1999928/]macOS Sierra Home Folder Capitalization | MacRumors Forums[/url] But maybe checkout the linked suggestion using Apple's support article of capitalizing the username, [I][B]if it still works [/B][/I]method at: [I][B]Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder[/B][/I] [url=https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201548]Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support[/url] It seems that Catalina OS is really clamping down on any user modifications. It's almost as if such Catalina OS X users are now the audience in the famous 1984 Apple ad!!! - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
