C Windows profiles user application data
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 LS -------------------------- "PCR" wrote in message ... 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... http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q156/8/26.asp 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. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR |
