How do I streamline Docs and Settings?

I've noticed recently that the Documents and Settings folder in my XP
Home SP1 system has six subfolders: Administrator, Administrator
(Computer name), All Users, Jim, Local Service, and NetworkService. I am
the only user and have admin privileges. Many of the entries in these
subfolders are duplicates. How can I safely reduce the number of
subfolders/entries without affecting performance?

Hi,

There is really nothing you can do with the D & S folder.
The Administrator, All User, Local Services, Network
Services, and Default User folders are installed and used
by XP, they are necessary folders. You shouldn`t have
administrator.<computername> though, unless something
messed up with the original administrator account.

After those default folders, then you will have individual
user folders for each account that is made for the
computer.

If you delete any of those folders or their subfolders,
you can screw up the accounts, so just leave them alone.
