XP User Question

My machine is running XP home. I only have the one Admin user account, and the guest account is turned off.

However in the "Documents and Settings" folder in the root of my C drive, there are three folders, one for my user account, one for the Admin account, and one for all users...

So my question is, why are there three folders for one User account?

One is for you the user

all users - so you can share files between users if you make another account i think its there by default

the adminstrator is if you boot into safe mode you will see your accout an administrator account

at least thats the way my machine is

hope this helps

You don't. If you do and you have a problem with your account, you will be reinstalling Windows.

Oh... Well, in that case, I'll just be leaving it alone.
