Documents and Settings folder problem?

I'd appreciate any comments here. When I installed XP a few years ago, I
chose the "upgrade" option rather than the "clean install". That led to
problems, so I did it all over again as a clean install. My Documents and
Settings folder has the following subfolders:

Administrator
All Users.Windows
Default User.Windows
Local Service
Local Service.NT AUTHORITY
Network Service
Network Service. NT AUTHORITY
Peter Beshuk (which is my name)

The 3rd thru 7th folder may be hidden as they seem "Grayed-out".

Is this setup ok? It just looks weird to me.

Everything looks ok except it seems that some folders were duplicated. Here
is my folder list:

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings

01/31/2005 09:57 PM <DIR> .
01/31/2005 09:57 PM <DIR> ..
02/11/2005 09:26 AM <DIR> All Users
02/21/2005 06:56 AM <DIR> carl
01/31/2005 10:26 PM <DIR> Default User
01/31/2005 09:53 PM <DIR> LocalService
01/31/2005 09:53 PM <DIR> NetworkService

I wonder why your LocalService and NetworkService folders were duplicated on
a clean install? Here is some interesting reading:

Good luck,
