I have an IBM Thinkpad A31p that came with preinstalled Windows 2000. A
couple of months ago the hard disk had to be replaced and I had to use the
IBM Recovery CD to reinstall the OS and utilities. I'm up to date with
Windows Update (i.e., SP4).
Since reinstalling, I've had a number of problems that I hadn't had before,
one of which is:
For some reason, Windows is creating multiple Administrator folders under
C:\Documents and Settings, although I am not logged in as Administrator (I
am logged in as "John" with Administrator rights). These extra folders take
the name Administrator.WORKGROUP (not the real name of my workgroup), then
Administrator.WORKGROUP.000, Administrator.WORKGROUP.001 etc. In a few cases
the folders are empty, but most of them have the standard set of subfolders
(e.g., My Documents, Send to etc etc).
I have to manually delete these folders every couple of days or they would
overwhelm my hard disk. Why is Win2k doing this and how can I make it stop??
