windows XP bug!

[baldboy]

Hello,
I have find a new problem with Windows XP. I hope MS will
fix this problem ASAP.

Let me tell you the steps and problem :

1-I have created an administrator account : xxx
2-I have logged on XXX and used some programs
3-I have logged off and logged on to YYY which is
administrator account, too.
4-I have deleted C:\Documents and settings\XXX folder.
This would delete all settings and files of XXX
5-Then I have opened control panel and clicked User
Accounts.
6-I wanted to delete account XXX (logged as YYY)
7-It asked me to delete XXX's documents and files e.t.c
8-Although I have deleted it manually in step 4, I
answered "yes" to delete all files of XXX.
9-Bingo : Windows XP began to delete all files in Drive C
10-A terrible bug

P.S : I have tried this in home edition (with all patches
installed) But I think this problem is available in Prof.
Edition, too.

So there's a problem with user accounts and deletion of
them.

not sure about it being a bug, if you create another administrator, you have same access to files as another which makes the files open to both users. what dawned on me was the fact that i would change the account to limited first to avoid this issue. if you have two administrators the access is the same which means admin xxx can do the same as yyy. if admin xxx wasn't available and admin yyy needed to do something that requires wiping out the hard drive they could. if you totally split the folders and programs for xxx and yyy you would double the amount of hd space used to begin with. this is why winxp puts limited as an option. i wouldn't exactly call it a bug as much as common sense vs. an imperfect option.
