I just posted "Why so many My Docs?" but I meant to write Why so many user
folders. I apologize for the error. Below's the previous post in case it
gets lost.


Thanks to this ng I have found solutions and answers to many questions
across time, it is a great resource .
Here are a few more questions:

- If I am the sole user and administrator( owner) of my XP SPF2 desktop, can
I get rid of the various user folders (All Users, Default
user, Owner)? Delete them? Are there any risks in doing so? I realize I
must check them first to make sure no important data is erased.

- Does the answer apply also to XP Professional Media Center, which I have
in my laptop?

- How can I make My Computer be expanded to show all drives when I open
Windows Explorer?

Thanks, Joan

Here's the answer to the final question: Right click the shortcut for
Explorer, properties, shortcut tab, and enter this into the target box:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, E:
In this example, all drives would be shown and E: drive would be expanded.
If you changed the E: to C:, all drives would be shown and C: would be
expanded.

It didn't get lost. In fact, posting outside of your original thread
makes things harder for those of us trying to help you. I gave you a
fairly detailed answer to your first post so go back to it and keep any
further replies, questions about the same subject, etc. in that thread.
