I can see maybe removing some elements in small degrees...those which seems
"harmless"; but to delete the entire lot of contents within the user folder
of C:\Windows\Profiles seems ....um...risky to me with my limited knowledge.

On one occasion I booted up as per usual, and then was asked for a password
which ordinarily wasn't necessary. so I did the first step of that MSKB
article to restore the PC to the usual Windows Log-on process, by disabling
the User Profiles. Then It was fine, and I left it at that. I'll let things
sit for a few days and see what builds up in the S-SD folder.

As per usual, thanks PCR. And another thing: you don't "go out" often
enough to need Spybot. Just sit back and enjoy your rocking chair and a cool
glass of lemonade. =-D

Well, there is article on how to remove the Profile. I've never done it
that way. The warning is... You will LOSE ALL files & settings that
attach to the Profile, when it is removed...

How to Disable and Delete User Profiles

...So, you must copy/move them to safety first. I know little/nothing
more, except the stuff is probably all in that "C:\Windows\Profiles"
folder.

As far as SpyBot, I'm just not sure I want it back.
