Hi

My PC used to show three folders in C:>Documents and Settings -
Administrator, All Users and Owner. Recently, I installed and used a
trial programme that caused my Desktop settings to completely change.

The easiest solution to rectify the problem was to use the System Restore
facility in Windows XP Home Edition, which I did, and which successfully
restored my PC to its previous state. After doing so, however, I noticed
that an additional folder appeared in C:\Documents and Settings called
Owner.ERIC containing a number of folders. I did change my Logon from
"Eric" and old password to "Owner" and a new password.

Can anyone explain what this additional folder is and is this normal when
System Restore is used?
