Here's my guess, Jerry: The store setup a user account to demonstrate the
computer. After the sale, the store removed the account from Control Panel >
User Accounts. When you do this, XP offers to save the user's documents to a
file on the desktop. That's what I think you're seeing.

If the folder is empty, or if it just has meaningless files, it's fine to
delete it. That should be the end of the demo user account. Enjoy your new
PC.
