New UserIDs created by MS .NET FRamework.



I've read all that time and my ability will permit about the MS .NET Framework, but I still don't understand it and I don't find answers to my problems.

I had to install MS.NET when an upgrade to my ATI display driver required it. Before installing this software I had the usual set of 'user folders' defined in my Win XP system, in 'Documents & Settings':
Administrator
All Users
<user defined>

and
Default User (hidden folder)

But after installation of .NET I have these ADDITIONAL folders in Documents & Settings:

All Users.WINDOWS
<user defined>.<computer name>
Default User.WINDOWS (hidden)
Local Service (hidden)
Local Service.NT AUTHORITY (hidden)
Network Service (hidden)
Network Service.NT AUTHORITY (hidden)

Moreover most of the updates and temporary data are held in sub-folders within the <user defined>.<computer name> folder, access to which by any other computer on my home network is denied.

What re the additional folder for?

Which, if any, out of the total list of folders can I delete without loss of function?

Why can I now not access the documents held by user <user defined> using other computers on my network?
.
