  Hello

  Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .

  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.

  An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.

  Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.

  Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

• 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.

• Space unknown in Documents and Settings

  Hi, I do not know if this is normal or not. But it is the case:

  When I go in Documents and Settings, I put my cursor on my user folder, it shows that it is around 9.66 GB. But then, when I clicked in and highlight everything that it says I use up to 6 MB.

  Is there something wrong with it?

  Since last week, this "mysterious" space is just 7 GB and growing x_x.

  Help, please. =]

  Thank you very much

  You may need to show hidden files to see all the contents of Documents and Settings. More information on how to do that is here.

• Why have I not 2 folders of paper? We are in c:\documents and settings and the other in c:\users

  I have 2 files in Windows 7 and they appear almost the same. One is c:\documents and settings\name\Mydocuments and the other is c:\users\name\MyDocuments. Can I move all the files the c:\users folder and then delete the folder c:\documents and settings?

  They are the same file.

  C:\Documents and Settings\ is an alias used to ensure the compatibility of older programs.

  This name is hidden if you are using the default options in the Folder Options > view. Unchecking "Hide protected operating system files" causes the file name to become visible.

• 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:

• 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

• Somehow my windows xp C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp folder to store all the files inside?

  Somehow my windows xp C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp Dungeon folder all files inside that has occupied almost all of my computer hard disk free space. I thought that it will remove al temporary files or folders automatically?

  My hard drive has 700 MB of free space suddenly dropped to 24MB

  I don't have any software and hardware change? When I turned on my computer running windows xp to pop a dialog box in the taskbar saying that my hard drive is running out of free space. After checking the problem, I discovered this Dungeon C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp folder, all files inside that occupied almost everything my computer hard drive free space.

  I thought that the temp folder automatically clean the cache file and the folder after some days, can someone tell me why temp folder stores all the files and folder used almost all the free space from my hard drive?

  Here's what JoseIbarra aka aka aka ElderL A.User I thought.

  See if this sounds like your situation:

• Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

  I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

• 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

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1:

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
  a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
  You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353/en-us
  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

  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.

• OK to delete the files that are: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express

  Good afternoon:

  Have recently been spotted by Windows XP Pro disk space on my C drive is low.  I reinstalled all the obvious large files (e.g., photos) on an external hard drive.  I have drilled down into individual files on the C drive to ensure other potential consumers of space. Found the folder that can be the source.

  Last year, I converted from Outlook Express (OE) for Outlook.  At this point, I rode on my e-mail and the e-mail folders in Outlook.

  I found a file in the following location that seems to contain the OE files.  I would like to know if the removal of these files of OE (~8.5 GB) impact my Outlook folder/mail e-mail before I remove them.

  The location is: C:/Documents and Settings/rjhirsch (me) / Local Settings/Application Data / identities / {31391EF3-B3AC-4F12-94D8-DC2DA45E9526} / Microsoft/Outlook Express.

  The folder contains about 8.5 GB of e-mail to OE folders more of them are dated July/August 2010.

  It is safe to assume that when I converted originally these OE e-mail/folders over to Outlook - that Outlook has caught up - and it's OK to delete these files?

  Thanks for your help.

  Cheers.

  Rick

  If you do not use OE, then Yes. It will not affect Outlook at all. Open the database messages OE, the folder that you have described, and remove all the dbx files. If you need OE once again, when you open OE, it creates new files dbx for all default folders such as Inbox, sent, etc. items.

• Several user under Documents and Settings profiles

  I have several machines to Windows XP Pro SP3 with several user profiles in the Documents and Settings folder.  My pc is one of them.  I have tvavra, tvavra. ASL, tvavra. ASL.000 and tvavra.ComputerName.  I understand that some of the accounts are created when mistakes happen, but I would like to have a procedure to clean the files.  Most often the reason why these folders are created first is when a user logs on the machine of someone else, they should draw these records.  I recently needed to redistribute machines in a campaign of savings and if I can eliminate clutter, I'd be very happy to help.

  The old profiles that are not currently in use are safe to remove. You can find your current profile by opening the folder my documents on the start menu and search in the address bar. You can check in each to make sure there are no files which are necessary for the first.
