After trying to upgrade to Vista I had to run a full HP_Recovery. This
involves formating C: and then reinstalling HP WinXP Media Center. Under
Documents and Settings I have the following Folders:
Administrator - Size on disk 32.3 MB Contains 133 Files, 79 Folders
All Users - Size on disk 4.80 GB Contains 3 536 Files, 261
Folders
Default User - Size on disk 31.9 MB Contains 134 Files, 79 Folders
Hidden
HP_Administrator - Size on disk 7.25 GB Contains 7 628 Files, 753 Folders
LocalService - Size on disk 764 KB Contains 26 Files, 40 Folders
Hidden
NetworkService - Size on disk 536 KB Contains 8 Files, 26 Folders
Hidden
On my previous PC running WinXP Home Edition I deleted the All Users and
Default User Folders - After rebooting they were back and in addition All
Users.Windows and Default User.Windows folders were created.
Also on my previous PC I tried to connect to a older PC with a crossed
seriai cable - I managed to get the 'Network' to connect and my Admin
account folder " Dave" spawned "Dave.TOYBOX" and "Dave~1~TOY".
I spend a lot of time Downloading / Trying out / Deleting Programs/Garbage.
For every programer that lets me decide were I want to Download\UnZip\Install
there seems to be a few that have their own ideas were the files should go.
If the extra Folders are actually required then perhaps a One User Option
could force all programs\data to the Administrator folder and allow only
shortcuts in the extra folders which could then be hidden.
