G'Day User,

Under C:\Documents and Settings, I would expect to find:
                                    \All Users
                                    \Default User
                                    \Owner ('cos YOU said so)
AND \NOTHING ELSE!!

I would NOT expect to see:
                                    \Administrator
OR \My Documents
and I suspect that somebody has been fiddling!!

What UserName do YOU log in as??
