Extraneous Accounts in Documents & Setting

U

Uncle Joe

Hello. Here's hoping you can help me. Noticed
that I have many odd accounts showing in my
Documents and Settings folder. Don't know
where most of them came from. I'd like to
get rid of the extraneous accounts but am unsure
as to whether doing so would negatively affect
my PC's functionality.

Built my PC from parts three years ago. It's a
1.6 GHz CPU with 1 GB of RAM, ASUS
P4B266C motherboard, and 80 and 60 GB HDs.
Have internet connection via internet cable connection.
Also have 19" Samsung monitor, Epson CX4600
printer, Epson scanner, 35mm slide scanner.
Graphics card is NVIDIA GForce3 TI-200
with 64 MB of RAM. Am running XP Home SP2.
Any other data you need, just ask. Thanks.

Had problems installing my Windows XP Home
operating system when I first built the PC
because the mobo was bad. Reformatted C drive
and reinstall the operating system. The dealer sent
me a new mobo and I installed it Called the second
board "Sunshine" because it worked fine. I use one
only account: Joe. Have never logged as
Administrator or Guest.

For some reasons, my programs ended up in the
Programs folder of the All Users-Windows administrative
folder instead of in Joe account's Programs folder.

Here's list of all the administrative sub-folders
in my Documents & Settings folder:

Administrator
Administrator-Joseph
All Users
All Users-Windows
Default User
Default User-Windows
Joe
Joe-SUNSHINE
Local Service
Local service.NT Authority
Local Service.NT Authority.000
Network Service
Network Service.NT Authority
Network Service.NT Authority.000

Which ones are safe to delete? Can I
just drag the deleted folders to the trash?
Is that the safe way to do it?

Is there a good reason why you posted almost the same information under
another name?
