Default RE: documents and settings

hi!
That happens when you do xp repair! creates a new user with the machine name!
And yes, check by date to see the 2 oldest profiles and delete them!!
But first check them to see if there is any data that you may have keept
there
ex:
\desktop; \%user's% documents and some program profiles that stay in the
\application data & \Local Settings\Application Data(all of these in each
profile)

note that the last 2 locations are not really necessary to pay atention,
only important for the .pst file resulting from the account('s) made from
microsoft outlook
