Posted October 25, 200717 yr Recently I had to change my motherboard and when I reinstalled my XP Pro it seemed to be OK. Then when I installed the motherboard drivers for all the integrated services (network card and sound card) I noticed that there were duplicate user folders in the Documents and Settings Folders. I have read quite a few of the various articles available on the internet about how the duplicate folders occur but may not be fully able to grasp what I need to do the delete the extra accounts. Is there someone available who could talk me through the particular situation that I have please? So far, I have managed to change to an Administrator's account and delete duplicate accounts for All Users, Default User and my own name account. What I cannot delete are the duplicate accounts for the Administrator, Local Service and Network Service. Attempts at deletion get the notice that they are system accounts and cannot be deleted. Insofar as my understanding of computers is concerned I am not quite a newbie but I am not completely computer-literate either. Regards Granny -- GrannyFriend
