My Documents Error

[Dale Holden]

Hello All

Please bear with me and I will try to explain this as simply as
possible. On my main Pc I run Win XP Pro, when it was installed (not
by me) it had one profile.

When I received it I changed the profile into my profile call it
profile x.

I then set up another profile for my partner called profile y.

When I go into My Computer now I only see shared documents and profile
y folders.

When I go onto the C Drive and look in ‘Documents and Settings' I see
All Users, Profile Y, Profile X (mine), user?

I want to be able to see in My Computer Shared Docs, Profile X, and
Profile Y. only.

I have tried deleting the user folder but windows will not let me it
says it a windows user folder!

I have tried looking at the registry and changing a few settings for
fixes for this problem but it didn't work!!

As anybody come across this problem or can anybody assist me in this
matter.

Once a profile is made, if you change the name, the original name will still
be under the documents&settings folder even though it now treats it as the
new name. To do it properly, you need to log in as the administrator and
then delete the original profile from control panel >> users, then create a
new one using your name.

The user settings for the account you cannot see are probably set to make
the users files private. I think if you turn off simple file sharing, you
will then see them.

Make sure you backup all data before deleting/creating new profiles.
