Removing Programs/Settings from Administrator Account

[Summer1]

Good Day, Everyone:

Yes, I am the same person who inquired about paritioning the C and D drive
and having extra GB that were not paritioned.

This time is a different issue:

When I bought this computer, it was signed in as an 'Administrator' (which I
did not know at the time).

I installed programs and customized settings under this account. When I
realized that it should all be under the 'User Account,' I copied everything
but now have 'duplicate' files on both accounts, taking up unnecessary space.

How do I delete programs on the Administrator' account and go back to the
'original' Windows XP settings before I customized them?

Or am I supposed to be signed in to the 'Administrator Account' when
installing programs?

Since I am the 'only one' using this computer, should the 'Admin' and 'User'
accounts 'look' exactly the same? Is the duplicate info not taking up extra
space?

Summer,

After your first post and now this one, I suggest that you have someone
experienced come and set up your computer for you.

This was NOT a helpful reply.

Do not reply to my issue if you have NOTHING 'useful' to add and are more
interested in 'editorializing.'

Summer,

I'm sorry you think I was "editorializing". I was honestly giving you a
helpful suggestion. I've seen too many people with your experience
level mess their computers up so bad it required hundreds of dollars to
straighten it out. But if you truly feel you know enough to be doing
this, good luck to you.

I will lastly suggest you Google search for your issues. Maybe you can
find assistance that way. As you can tell by the amount of responders,
I may just be verbalizing what others are thinking.
