The documents and Settings under your C: drive> * for ADMINISTRATOR are needed for the Administrator account/user. * for ALL USERS are settings common to ALL user/accounts on your computer indeed the start menu for example is based on settings in this sub-branch along with the per-user settings under the sub-branch for that user * for DEFAULT USER are setting defaults used when creating a new account from scratch The GUEST account should be left and DISABLED Normally you do NOT want/need to see the Administartor or Guest account n the Welcome Logon Screen Should you ever need to logon to the Administartor account you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL keys TWICE at the Welcome logon screen and you will be presented with a logon dialogue box to enter the username and password. If you are using Windows XP Home Edition then the Administrator name is Administrator and the default password is blank. HTH Babe. |
