I rescently re-installed my OS (XP Home) and found 2
folders named "WINNT" and "WINDOWS". WHich one of tthese
folders should I keep or delete?
 
It depends, if you upgrade from previous operation system the folder will be
WinNT.

In the current situation, I think it's save to delete WinNT. You may use
windows 2000 or NT prevous and then you install Windows XP, which create the
windows folder.
