I've got 3 versions of same User, can I delete?

After multiple screwups in transfering files from an old computer to this
new Win Media system, I ended up with:
Documents and Settings
Administrator
All Users
Bill
Bill.HS3-MEDIA
BILL.HS3-MEDIA.OOO
DEFAULT USER

I'm the only user of the computer. Some things like My Music are in mone of
the Bill and not the others.
Some of the StartUp programs are in one and not the other.

How do I determine which one is current?
How do I consolidate and remove the non used versions.

Please and thank you.

You could look at the dates on the folders to help determine which one
you're currently using, or create a text file on your desktop and see
which folder it shows up in - it should be in the desktop folder of
whichever profile it's currently using - probably the one with the .000
extension. You should be able to browse through the other profile
folders and copy any other desktop items, documents, favorites, etc
that you want to consolidate into the active profile folder. Then you
can delete the other two.

Go to Start -> Run and enter the following in the Open box:

%homepath%

This should open the current Bill folder. You can consolidate
files from the other Bill folders into this folder. Limit your
copying to things like Favorites, My Documents, Desktop and
Start Menu. Once you've recovered your old files you can delete
the other Bill folders. Leave the Administrator, All Users and
Default Users folders alone.

Good luck
