+Administrator
+All Users
+Default User
Owner
+Owner.MIKE

+Owner.MIKE.001
+Owner.MIKE.002
+Owner.MIKE.003

To be honest, it looks like something is going wrong with your profiles and
being recreated..

What is the dates on each of those directories - in particular - the
NTUSER.DAT file in the root of each directory?
 
Looks like "Mike" has reinstalled his system several times. Do repair
installations instead of "over the top" installations to retain the user
accounts instead of creating new ones each time.

Please note that you are *NOT* /the/ administrator, you are a user with
administrative privileges - do *NOT* be tempted to delete the Administator
folder.
