Log on to one of the user profiles, open a DOS box and type
SET
Remember the folder name given under USERPROFILE. Do this for all
users. Boot to the Safe Mode, log on as the Administrator and repeat.
Now check the profile folders that have not been mentioned for data
that you want to keep and then delete them from the Safe Mode. Do not
delete the ALL USERS folder.
