Re installing Windows My documents

I have a computer that has 3 users.
I saved the documents folders to another drive and reformatted the
boot drive.

When I installed a fresh copy of Windows I made the 3 users during the
initial install.
One of the first things I did when I signed on was to copy the backup
files to C:\Documents and Settings

Something strange happened. The first time I logged on to the other
two names the my documents folder was duplicated. It was like Windows
ignored the fact that the folder already existed and made another new
one. It gave it a .pam extension because that was what I used for the
main username.

So what I have is one folder called Pamela and one called pamela.pam.
I also have one named Daniel and one named daniel.pam

How can I do away with the pamela.pam folder and just use a folder
called pamela? Windows is using pamela.pam as the default for the
user pamela.


I hope this makes sense.
