All Users.WINDOWS folder in Doc & Settings- Help!!!

Guest

Hi everyone. I have XP Pro and I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro and used
my external HD and the backup option to restore some files to the Users on my
computer (Heather and Jeff). The files carried over and after some toying
around I have this now in C:\Documents and Settings\
Jeff (Folder)
Heather (Folder)
All Users.WINDOWS (Folder)
I've tried renaming the All Users.WINDOWS to All Users (as it used to be
before the reinstall) but it will not let me. Is there some kind of problem
on my computer because I find this very odd. Are there "overlapping"
installations of Windows XP on my computer or something? If so, how do I get
ready of the junk? Are there any actions or applications I can use to correct
this or would I have to try reinstalling
Windows XP Pro all over again? I'm new to this stuff, so please dummy down a
lil for me. =)Thanks in advance.
