re: Is it OK to delete the default user? Monday, January 19, 2004 at 7:53 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bob Crenshaw (3 messages posted) Wait!!! Stop!!!!! The Default User folder contains the default registry settings that are applied when a new user logs on. Leave that folder alone. And please hide hidden files so you don't try to delete any other important stuff. My Computer --> Tools --> Folder Options --> View --> Do not show hidden files and folders.
