Hope I'm in the right spot for this question ...
Not much luck from Google so far, hence my asking here.
Some installs of XP (but not multiple installs) have resulted
in the 'My Documents and Settings' containing 'duplicates'
I think they appear according to the setup procedure and
whether a network was installable at the time (not always
possible if the MB chips are not S/W enabled)
Anyway, I get these things
All Users
All Users.WINDOWS
and
Default User
Default User.WINDOWS
The simple shorter) names (folders) are deletable but the others are not
and additionally, the folder sizes are different, not much, but different.
1. What is the cause of this.?
I'm seeking enlightenment here. It would be nice to avoid generating this
double set of 'definitions', if that's the right word, in the first place.
2. Is it possible to remove the longer named set ?
(Reverting to what I think is a 'standard' definition)
3. Would there be trouble in merging the two (if it's poosible)?
4. Is there a rule of thumb about this? Data? Web site? Pointers?
Thanks
