I just reinstalled win XP on my computer ( I did not
reformat and i had the <user> on the computer already )
and I can't acces this directory on my freshly installed
win XP. I even tried in admin in safe mode. My actual user
has the directory <user>.athlon
 
It happens because when you reinstall XP while keeping
the same user directory, it puts the name of your
computer at the end of your user name, hence the
<user>.athlon because "athlon" is what you call your
computer on a network. Its a slight flaw in XP, you just
need to rename the existing directory or delete it in
safemode before you reinstall it.
