Stupid user id and ${USER} Follow
Our user ids have no relation to our real names here. Is there a way for me to to change ${USER} in one place and have all the file templates use a real name rather than the effectively random string that we use to login?
I know that I could go through ALL the templates and change every one, but was hoping for something easier.
Thanks

IDEA reads this from the JVM's user.name system property. So you would need to change it on the JVM level. In the directory ${idea-install-dir}/bin, edit the file idea.exe.vmoptions (or idea64.exe.vmoptions if running 64-bit version). Add a line such as:
-Duser.name=Charlie Brown
Then restart IDEA.
<edit>
p.s. You will need to double check that change when installing a new version of IntelliJ IDEA.
