Too many users?

[Russ]

I am sole user (no networks) running XP HE. Under Docs &
settings, I have:
Administrator, All Users, Default, Default User, Local
Service, Network Service, Russ Whitney, as users.
Do I need all of these? How do I delete the ones I don't
need? Thanks

You need to leave them.
Default user is needed if you add another user, it is a template
All Users is where programs install their shortcuts
Administrator, is the built in Administrator account, it needs to stay
Local Service is the account that services run under, it needs to stay
Network Service, is the account that certain network services needs, leave
it.

Having these won't make you machine slower and they use very little disk
space so just ignore them.
