Hello Group. I've noticed (since comparing with a second XP machine) that
I've got strange user profile folders in "Documents & Settings" -
Default User.WINDOWS
All Users.WINDOWS
"Windows" is in caps as I've written. The normal "Default User" and "All
Users" folders also exist, but they don't seem to have been accessed since
the machine was built.
All the shared documents you'd expect (documents, user data, etc.) are
contained in the ".WINDOWS" folders. Another clue: if I right-click the
start button, and select "open all users", I am in "All Users.WINDOWS\Start
Menu". User-specific stuff is in the relevant user folders, as normal.
It's not an enormous problem (the machine works perfectly), but it's untidy,
and it bugs me. How can I put it right?
Computer built 2004
Windows XP Home OEM, SP2
512 MB RAM
120 GB HD
Avast! AV up to date
Spybot S&D up to date
Ad-Aware up to date
Windows firewall only (plus hardware firewall on router)
Part of workgroup with one other machine
TIA Tony.
