Hi, I would like that the user url page which is actually http://mysite.com/user/id changes to something like http://mysite.com/myname
The idea is that each user can choose the "myname" in the url.
I know that it is possible to create URL aliases but I would preffer not to give right to users to create URL aliases.
Users in my site can directly create an alias with the option "URL path settings" when they create new content, but for they own profile page, there is nothing like this.
Is there a simple solution for it?

Simple solution Pathauto module

Description: The Pathauto module automatically generates path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, categories, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to get aliases like /category/my-node-title.html instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system which the administrator can control.

OK, that's a pretty good thing to do so.
Well, it does the aliasing for new or updated pages. For nodes created before installing pathauto, it won't do the alias.
I must do it with the "Bulk...." option.
