Documents and Settings

[Guest]

Windows XP Home, I am the only user of my computer

In the folder, "documents and setting," there are 6
categories that I do not understand the need for.
They are, "Adiministrator, All users, Default User,
LocalService, NetworkService, and User"

What are the need for these folders. Can I combine them all
into one folder, such as the Administrator folder?

Hi,

It is not advisable to delete or move the folders under Documents and
Settings in your system. It may leads to profile load problem. Each User in
your computer should have one folder under Documents and Settings.

Thanks,

Larry, those are folders used by the system and should be left alone.

No, do not touch them! Each user has their own profile which is kept
in c:\Documents and Settings. All users shares the desktop and start
menu items between users. Default user keeps the default profile and
is used to copy to new users when you set them up.
