Hi,
The stuff in Documents and Settings is your profile stuff. The thing
is IF you change your name in XP. eg. from Tina to Jeryaln the Folder
in Documents and Settings DOESN’T Change. That is why the "Tina"
folder contains all your stuff.
It looks like your Workgroup is also called Jeryaln. The
Administrator,
Administrator.Jeralyn, Administrator.Jeralyn.000, and
Administrator.Jeralyn.001 are all copies of the same folder which is
the Administrator settings folder.
This is NOT your stuff but the local hidden administrator account and
profile that gets created automatically when you install XP. Make
sure there is a user.dat in the Administrator folder and then you can
safely delete only the Administrator.Jeralyn,
Administrator.Jeralyn.000, and Administrator.Jeralyn.001 as long as
you check to make sure there is nothing in there of yours. Keep the
Administrator folder and all the others as they are needed by XP.
5-All Users
6- (faded color) Default User
7-Guest
8-Owner
9-tina ( which seems to be a working folder with all my stuff )
Cheers,
Lara
