Hi Tony,
I'm not sure of what you men by "User account".
Normally in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here, the Your Name Here is
the same name as your User Account. As seen in User Accounts.
Open User Accounts...
Start | Run | Type: control userpasswords | Click OK |
You then see the User Accounts
Folder Name: Documents and Settings
Contents: Account information for each user who is granted access on the
computer. Each user account is represented by a subfolder assigned the
user name. Folders under each user account folder include My Documents,
Desktop, and Start Menu.
To see the Documents and Settings folder for you, the logged in user...
Click Start | Click Run | Type: . | Click OK |
Yes, type a period in the Run command.
This will open %userprofile%
%userprofile% is an environment variable that is the path to the logged on
user's home folder.
Typing or pasting %userprofile% into the Start | Run box opens to the
Documents and Settings folder on whatever drive it is located on for the
logged in user.
I.e. C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here
-----
It sounds like Your User Name is Administrator.
And your computer name is TONYDELL.
And now you have \Documents and Settings\Administrator.TONYDELL
So this must have happened:
If you lose Full Control permissions to your profile folder, in the
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings folder, Windows 2000 and Windows XP
will create a new one the next time you log on. The new profile is named:
UserName - if the older profile was deleted.
UserName.ComputerName - if the old profile exists.
Apparently your old profile exists, becuase you have
\Documents and Settings\Administrator.TONYDELL
Below are some links on how to recover and/or remove what's not needed.
Duplicate profile folders exist under the "Documents and Settings" folder
