Unwanted Extra Entries in Docs & Settings Folder

D

Dennis

I had to reload XP Pro and ended up with two sets of entries in my Documents
and Settings folder.

The original settings were named "Dennis"

When I reloaded XP, I ended up with a second set that is now the active set
called
Administrator (only one folder)
All Users
All Users.WINDOWS
Default User
Default User.WINDOWS
Dennis
Dennis.HUGHES-CVCUMZVH

I went to the user accts in the control panel, but have only Dennis and
guest.

How can I get rid of the second set, or erase the original set and rename
the second set?

Thanks,

Dennis

Leave the DEFAULT USER entries alone. For the others: type
SET
at a DOS prompt and check the settings for USERPROFILE and
ALLUSERSPROFILE. You can delete the other folders from the Safe Mode.
