Windows XP re-install

Some time ago I was having a problem with windows XP and to many apps loading at start up. That was before I found the praises of "msconfig" But I now am looking to get rid of all the old user login folders. The log in folders don't show up at the log in screen, so to me they are just taking up alot of space on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

If i'm understanding you correctly, you have account folders in the Documents and Settings folder that you want to get rid off? Well, if that's the case, I can help you with that, but please also let me know if it's XP pro or XP Home

Ok, log in as administrator. Not the one you see.....this is a special built in one. What you do is, when the welcome scren comes up, hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice. Then you will get the Windows-special administrator option to login. Be careful, you can do alot of damage logging on like that.

I would just start the computer and log in as the normal administrator. Then just go to My docs&settings and pick the accounts you want to delete. If they don't then try using the "super administrator". Hope it works.

Doesn't "crtl+alt+delete" twice shut down the PC?

Not if you're using Windows XP Pro, with the XP welcome screen
