Hi people
this is the first time i use this so i'm not too sure how
to go about the whole thing.
Anyway, I created separate profiles for my parents and i
on the home PC. However, my parents now wish for me to
return things back to normal as they are not too happy
with me doing this.
I know how to delete users (from the control panel) but am
afraid that any files/folders created during this time
will be lost. Are files and folders deleted when a user's
profile is deleted?
If they are is there any way of copying these folders so
they are not deleted?
