Removing User Folder In Documents And Settings

[edpw]

I am trying to remove a user folder from my document and settings
folder but whenever I try to delete it an error screen saying
"Ed.EDWILLIAMS is a system folder and cannot be deleted..." Can anyone
help me on how to get rid of it? Ed.EDWILLIAMS isn't one of the users
on the computer either.

Hi,

To determine the account name which is using the "Ed.EDWILLIAMS" (as it's
homepath), download the following script:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/sidlist.vbs

Save the script to Desktop, and double-click to run it. The user names/SID
and the corresponding profile folder will be displayed in Notepad.
