I have the same folders in 3 places. Am I able to delete any. Haven't any
idea why I have 3.

Desktop - My Documents - 3 folders there named Filelib - My music - My
pictures
My computer - Documents and Settings - All users - Lynn same 3
folders
Lynns Documents the same folders and same information again.

The Desktop - My Documents option points to the same place as c:\documents
and settings\<current user>\.
The "Lynns Documents" folder may also be a shortcut to the same place.
Shortcuts may be deleted, but don't delete Filelib, My Music, or My
Pictures, because I believe those only exist in one place on your computer.
I think you just have 3 ways to get to them.

They are probably the -same- folder but pointed to by three names.

To test, select File, New, Text Document and check to see if it
appears in all three places! If so, they are not copies but just one
with 3 names.
