Too Many User Folders

I have 9 different users folders in Documents and Settings. If I delete some of these folders and content will it effect my folder. Foz

You have to be more specific than that.....affect what folder? and in what way? Obviously you have to be the administrator to delete the folders, and I'm pretty sure you have to be in safe mode.

javert, These are folders that Windows XP sets up for each user. I am the 2nd owner of this computer and all users folders of previous owner are still on computer. These folders usually contain My Documents,My Music, My Pictures,Favorites,etc. Foz

Send a message via MSN to snowmonkey
foznikjj, you can delete which ever file you don't want,, that would not effect your peofile as long as you don't delete your own (Keep the Administrator profile too).


cheers
