Please help me get rid of this.---
Ok.. I reset an HP pavilion back to its disc image.
I trimed the fat and upgraded it to XP with no problem.
I also got all the windows updates.
Then I messed up.
I saw that the Account created from the original was named "HPCustomer" and Described as "Ursula". I wanted the account to be named "Ursula", so I created user "Ursula".
Then I loged off and noticed that both accounts were listed on the welcom screen as "Ursula", which I beleive was how the imported user was listed prior to my change.
OK, then I loged on as the new user and deleted the imported one. When It asked if I would like to save the files from the about to be deleted user, I chose yes.
It created a folder on the desktop named Ursula containing mostly things from "My Documnts". I redistributed the files, and attempted to delete the new folder.
I got an error saying I could not delete it because it was a windows system file, and that if I did windows wouldn't run properly. I know this is BS so I used cmd to remove the directory, which contained 1 empty folder named desktop.
OK I got it deleted.
--------------------
Then I logoff and logon as "George" which is his first logon.
Theres that damn "Ursula\Desktop\" system folder that windows wont let me delete from the gui again!
I checked with the last user "John" who had logedon prior, and there was no folder.
Since it appeared to be related to the newly created accounts, I copied most everything from "John\" to Default "User\" That probobly just caused some other problem I don't yet realize. (anyway to restore the Default User Folder?) %-)
Upon further investigation, I found that the folder REAPPEARED on "Ursula"s desktop and a "Documents and Settings/Ursula.Upstairs" Folder. I deleted the .Upstairs folder but the situation seemed uneffected.
I'm Stuck, this stupid little reappearing folder, is whats holding me back from making a ghost image backup, and returning the computer to its owner. Which was supposed to be for fathers day
Thanks, John
