I run Windows XP, Home Edition for about 4 years now. When I observe my 'C' directory using Windows Explorer I have the following directory and sub directories showing (please, see attachment, below). I assume that the directories referred to as All Users, Default Use, Local Service and Network Service are required by the system. However, are the directories under my name (Oded and Oded Degani as well as Owner) required to be triplicated? This becomes a problem when one realizes that the data in them is triplicated as well!
This gobbles enormous amounts of storage memory on my hard drive and I don't know how to correct the situation. I am leery of just deleting the directories because I am not sure of the affect on the system.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oded
