Location of user profiles data
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 06:36:09 -0700
Until recently, the data related to the two user profiles configured on my PC (Windows XP Home edition) were in the "Documents and setting" folder.
Now, after having re-installed XP for a technical problem, any new profile is stored under "windows/profiles". Also the information regarding "all users" is now taken from the Windows directory rather than the "documents & settings". My old profiles, however, are still there.
Now, can you help me in understanding:
1) what is the correct place where these data should be stored (i.e., favorites, documents, start-up menu, ...)
2) why do I have now two different locations?
3) how to clean up everything?
Thank you for any help on this subject
