Re: user that I did not set up and isn't in control panel



Hi,

Next time I suggest to use File and Settings Transfer Wizard - is built-in in WinXP.
Make sure that you do not try to delete settings for user who is curently logged on.
Is possible, that you will need take ownership over whole folder (and subfolders) before deleting.

I recently reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled XP. When I did, I copied
my documents and settings to another drive and back again. However I ended
up with a Papa user and a Papa_2 user. Only one is a user according to the
control panel. The other I can't get rid of but it shows up in the windows
explorer.

What should I do?
