Hi everone after my explorer.exe error and trying to fix it by repairing it the repair screwed up the comp. so I did a full install over the old one all my program files and my documents were sill in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner. When I reinstalled XP it asked me to make a user name so I typed "Owner" and it said that the user name cant be the same as the computer name so I put in "Jeff" and it worked but my problem is that in Documents and Settings I have five foleders there names are: All Users, All Users.WINDOWS, Jeff, Owner, and Owner.DANIELRI. I want to get rid of all but the Owner folder. How can I do this without screwing the computer up again? Please Help!

Start Over:

Leave the All Users, Default User, and Administrator Folders alone.
