You really only have one My Documents directory - C:\Documents and
Settings\Valued Customer. The others are just shortcuts. As for Nicolini,
possibly you renamed the generically named "Valued Customer" user account
(that came with your preinstalled system - after all, the computer mftr.
doesn't know who will buy the machine) "Nicolini". Simply renaming a user
account is cosmetic only and doesn't change the underlying profile
files/folders ("Valued Customer").

So yes, leave everything alone.
