Start Menus

My machine has four profiles including me as administrator. Yet in Documents
and Settings there are Start menus not only for the four profiles, but also
or Administrator, Administrator.Home (The name of the machine), Default
User, Default user.Windows, All Users, All users.Windows.

Documents and shortcuts to apps get placed in a variety of these menus and
this sometimes makes finding things unnecessarily difficult as well as
making housekeeping a pain. Do I need all these? Can I safely remove them?

TIA
