I had a small company build my computer. I have windows
XP, which has "users". My problem is that I have two hard
drives on my computer. I didn't want to lose all the info
I had when I got my newer computer, so I used my old
drive as a back up and that is where I told them I wanted
my work saved. HOWEVER, that drive is much smaller. I am
now running out of space. I wanted to delete that folder
and modify where my files are saved as a default. BUT,it
won't let me delete it. Because they set it up as a user
( I think the administrator, I'm not sure) ANYWAY, when I
save a file it saves to 3 different places on my
computer, taking up more space then is necessary.

My question is.... is there any way to change where it
saves to, and only have it save to ONE place on my
computer like "My Documents?" I'm not sure I'm even
asking the question in the right forum or if I have
explained it so that anyone understands what I am talking
about.

I am hoping that someone out there can help me and tell
me if what I am trying to do is possible and how to do
it, without losing all my information that is saved.

Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from someone
soon. I'm running out of space on the smaller drive.
