I'm sure this has been asked before, but, I can't find an answer on the forums. XP install went a bit nutty and I've had to reinstall, it seems to have installed over itself and now my C:\Documents and Settings\ has some duplicate folders. All Users All Users.WINDOWS Default User Default User.WINDOWS Ian Ian.MACHINENAME LocalService LocalService.NT AUTHORITY NetworkService NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY It seems to be using Ian.MACHINENAME, now my question is can I remove the non .SOMETHING directories or should I try renaming the .SOMETHING's to without .SOMETHINGS Hope that makes sense, any advice appreciated.
