xfce keyboard shortcuts -- where to configure the def folder? [solved]

Hello,

I've moved my user's home directory, the old one still exists.
Now, when I run terminal via a shortcut, it opens at the old location. For thunar, it is the same.

I haven't been able to find where to configure that.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Something like

usermod -d /my/new/home userid

Please check 'usermod' manpage for details.

actually what I did was:

I've created a new user with a different name;
Copied the content of old users home to the new location

in /etc/passwd  the home location is fine

How exactly did you create the new user?

Why didn't you remove the old directory?

I've created the new user via useradd or so, then I've copied the content of the another user's directory to the new one. (including the hidden files)

I've removed the old directory and it's fine now. Dunno why is that so, but it works.  Thanks for the hint
