• more than one profile under documents and settings administrator

  Under Documents and Settings, there are several 'profiles administrator ";  Administrator, Administrator.COMPUTER, Administrator.COMPUTER.000, Administrator.COMPUTER.001, etc. 002, 003.

  Can all but removed the 'administrator' basis or all files within other profiles must be copied to the basic?

  The profile currently in use is the one that you will not be able to delete the user profile settings screen when logged in as a user.
  Another way to determine is to log on as administrator and create a single named file on your desktop.  Then search in different "Documents and records for the Administrator.xxx Settings/Administrator.xxx/Desktop that contains the file that you created on the desktop.  This will be the current profile.  If you do not use the administrator account, normally while there may be no file user useful to save the other profiles.

  This problem occurs because the security of the user ID has changed. Even if you use the same user name and password, your security ID no longer matches the security ID of the owner of the folder that you cannot open.

  1. disable the option Simple file sharing:

  a. click Startand then click my computer.

  b. on the Tools menu, click on Folder Optionsand then click the view tab.

  c. under Advanced settings, clear the use simple file (recommended) sharing and then click OK.

  2 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.

  3. click on the tab Security and then click OK in the Security message, if an unknown device appears.

  4. click on Advancedand then click the owner tab.

  5. in the name list, click your user name, administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group.

  If you want to take ownership of the contents of this folder, click to select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .

  6. click on OK.

  You may receive the following error message, where folder is the name of the folder you want to take care of:

• In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

  I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

  * original title - more disk space? *

  N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

  For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

  The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

  Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

  Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

  If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

  If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  Run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK)
  Adjust system restore space
  Disable the Indexing Service
  Uninstall the applications that you use is no longer

• Where can I find the Documents and Settings folder or the folder on Vista?

  I need to find a Real Player file file so I can delete it, but am unable to find the floder Documents and Settings.  I need to delete a file called treestate.dat but am unable to find... Help, please!

  In Windows Vista user profiles

  In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

  The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  Old path	New path
  \Documents and Settings	\Users
  \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default user	\USERS\DEFAULT or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents	\Users\\Documents
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos	\Users\\Pictures
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My Music	\Users\\Music
  \Documents and Settings\\Favorites	\Users\\Favorites
  N/A	\Users\\Contacts
  N/A	\Users\personal
  N/A	\Users\\SavedGames
  \Documents and Settings\Change Data	\Users\\AppData\Roaming
  \Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data	\Users\\AppData\Local
  \Documents and Settings\\Start Menu	\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ start Menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users	\Users\Public
  \Documents and Settings\All Users Menu	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau	\Users\Public\Desktop

  Records to take note of here are the folders in the path of all users. Many legacy applications that use outdated methods to solve the system folders, will solve the railways under C:\ProgramData when looking for common places. For example, the joint office can be resolved as C:\ProgramData\Desktop, however; This is actually a point of junction for C:\ProgramData\Users\Public\Desktop. A random entry in the C:\ProgramData folder dir reveals the following Junction Points:

  Path	Points to
  Data \ProgramData\Application	\ProgramData
  \ProgramData\Desktop	\Users\Public\Desktop
  \ProgramData\Documents	\Users\Public\Documents
  \ProgramData\Favorites	\Users\Public\Favorites
  Menu \ProgramData\Start	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \ProgramData\Templates	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates

• All Windows XP Documents and Settings folder names caps

  We use XP in a business environment. Recently, we have noticed that some user in "Documents and Settings" folders on a particular machine have changed randomly to be appointed with all caps. This causes problems with their profiles. What could have caused this?

  In addition, some files have changed to say the username followed by a point and our domain name. Do not know what is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Windows keeps cases in the names of files and folders, but when you access to files and folders, it is case-insensitive (i.e. upper/lower case is not serious).

  Records of the changing profile of user name directly to a username followed by a point and a domain name, on the other hand, comes following a corrupt user profile.  Corrupted user profiles usually occur as a result of (or comes from) the corruption of the file system.  Corruption of system files may result in the capitalization of the problems that you notice.  To recover a corrupted user profile, choose your method of the following:

• Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

  XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

  After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

  I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

  Thank you

  Method 2:

  System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

• How to redirect the user account to the correct folder in Documents and Settings?

  Under XP.  One of the user accounts seems to have been directed to the wrong user folder (the one that has been somehow created) in Documents and Settings.  Start menu, My Documents, etc are now empty, but they used to be OK.  The (desired) exact content is always in a folder user, but it is apparently not accessed.  I looked and looked and can't find how to reset the pointer (for example, identify the correct folder for that user).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• I have 7 user folders in C:\Documents and Settings and a single user account. How can I assign the right folder to my account and get rid of the others?

  Recently I got a video card break down. Repair technology installed a new and created a new Documents and Settings folder, which is now using my user account. I don't want these settings, I want the 'old'.

  Please write the command NET USER (at a command prompt) and report the output of the command.

  To find out what profile folder the user uses the command DEFINE the USER.

  To get a list of all users and their profile folders use the script VBS here: shows all the SIDS of the user with the path to copy and paste the script (in the box) to a Notepad file and then save it with a .vbs extension and run it.

  Set up your computer so that it uses an automatic connection, and when you get to the login screen just enter the user name and password of the account you want to use, and you should still be able to open a session with him.  To change the automatic logon settings type control userpasswords2 in the box run from the start menu and select (put a check mark) the option "users must enter a user name and password...". ».  If you use the 'Welcome' screen, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice to get the login screen and you can then enter the user name and password.

  To remove an unwanted user account and its associated user files use the applet in the control panel user accounts, don't forget about your actions before you delete a user account and its files, it is a one-way street and destruction will be permanent.

• Rename the username under C/Documents and Settings?

  How to rename C/Documents and Settings/username folder?

  Hi sed12,
   
  -Why exactly you are trying to rename the Documents and Settings username folder?
   
  Rename a user account via the computer management console or the user accounts applet is not rename the associated user profile folder.
   
  Note: Although you can move or rename the user profile folder, there may be some side effects after using this method. For the reason that there may be a few references path absolute (to the old user profile folder) in the registry added by third-party software. Therefore, there may be a loss of functionality in the respective applications.
   
  Therefore, I you recommend to create an another user profile with a different name and then copy the contents of the current profile to the new user account.
