My computer was not shut down properly and when I restarted the computer I had to do a system recovery and now I have two versions of windows running. What I mean is when I go to "Documents and Settings" I see 3 folders:
Folder 1 says "All Users"
Folder 2 says "User"
This is normal
BUT now there's a new folder
Folder 3 that says "Liz" (which is my name)
I can still see my old files, but my computer is running using this new "Liz" version.
How do I delete the new version?
This happened to me once before and I took it to the computer doctor. He restarted the computer and pressed a button which took him to a screen that showed both the old and new version. He selected the unwanted version and deleted it. Problem solved. How do I get to this screen?

Hi Liz, welcome to PCHF.
Before you can delete the new profile, you must first log on with your old one (user). (You cannot delete a profile that is your logged onto). Once you have logged on as user, go to My Computer, Control Panel, User Accounts, click on Liz and then Delete. EDIT: Marked as Answered. Last edited by madmonkey; 10-08-2007 at 09:29 AM. |
