Re: How to Place a New Folder Under "My Computer" in the Hierarchy?

Dear Keith,

It'll take me some time to absorb and carefully follow the instructions that
your link directs me to. But I knew that if anyone could figure out how to
do what I want to do, it would be you. Many thanks!

Do you by any chance know why I now have three "administrators" listed under
Documents and Settings: "Administrator," "Administrator HPLAPTOP," and
"Administrator HPLAPTOP.000"? There's also a "Default User" thrown in there
for good measure. I'd like to give them the boot. Too many cooks . . .
