Guest Joan Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I just posted "Why so many My Docs?" but I meant to write Why so many user folders. I apologize for the error. Below's the previous post in case it gets lost. Thanks to this ng I have found solutions and answers to many questions across time, it is a great resource . Here are a few more questions: - If I am the sole user and administrator( owner) of my XP SPF2 desktop, can I get rid of the various user folders (All Users, Default user, Owner)? Delete them? Are there any risks in doing so? I realize I must check them first to make sure no important data is erased. - Does the answer apply also to XP Professional Media Center, which I have in my laptop? - How can I make My Computer be expanded to show all drives when I open Windows Explorer? Thanks, Joan
Guest Ron Badour Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Correct previous post Here's the answer to the final question: Right click the shortcut for Explorer, properties, shortcut tab, and enter this into the target box: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, E: In this example, all drives would be shown and E: drive would be expanded. If you changed the E: to C:, all drives would be shown and C: would be expanded. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Joan" <josie63@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OLWfdS9%23HHA.5840@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I just posted "Why so many My Docs?" but I meant to write Why so many user >folders.

In fact, posting outside of your original thread makes things harder for those of us trying to help you. I gave you a fairly detailed answer to your first post so go back to it and keep any further replies, questions about the same subject, etc. in that thread.
