I am tyring to ask my question again, never got an
answer: Sorry if it sounds stupid, but:
I would like to delete what seem to be extra needless
folders in Windows Explorer. I am the only user of my
computer and I seem to have two different "User
Accounts". In the "Documents & Settings" folder, I have
three folders, "All Users", "Default User" and "Owner".
All documents and files I have saved are under "Owner",
yet when I renamed my computer to my name the My
Documents, ect are called "Jan's Docments" under "Default
User". Nothing is being saved under "Default User". All
the folders are empty or duplicated. Everything is
under "Owner". Yet "Default User" is a hidden system
folder and I don't think I should delete it. Can I
delete the "Default User" folders? Or should I move all
my files to "Default User" and delte the "Owner" folders?
Any enlightment will be appreciated. Thank you.

Do not delete Default User folder. This is the folder get installed when you
install XP
and when the new user login, XP copies all the default folder from this
folder to new user's setting.
and don't move your files to the default folder.
