.NET enabled user account

[Guest]

Many moons ago when I was young and keen, I decided to follow the option of
..NET enabling my administrator user account in XP. Having followed the
instructions, I found that the proces had created a second set of folders
under Documents and Settings. The original one is called User_Name and the
new one User_Name.COMPUTER_NAME. However, My Documents still points to
User_Name although Outlook (and some other applciations) seem to prefer
User_Name.COMPUTER_NAME. Is this right? This is very confusing and I can't
see that it has given me any benefit at all. Can I rewind and get back to
just to one set of My Documents folders?

Frustratedly

Create a new account and copy the old account into it.

My user name is Username but the folder sets are named Computer_owner and
Computer_owner.USERNAMES_OFFICE. When I am logged in everything seems to be
pointing at the Computer_owner folder set except for a few, like Outlook that
default to using Computer_owner.USERNAMES_OFFICE. I have tried moving
everything out of Computer_owner.USERNAMES_OFFICE into the equivalent places
in Computer_owner and changing the data file locations in Outlook. Somehow it
didn't work out and I put everything back. I guess what you are saying is
abandon the current user profile and its two(?) folder sets and create a
completely new one?

Yes. Create a new account and copy the old account into it.
