  1. I have 7 users in my Users folder. How do I delete the user-created ones?


    One folder is Administrator. One folder is Public.

    One folder is [local account]. This is my current and only available login, the one I want to keep.

    Two folders begin with defaultuser, one of which has the name of my machine.

    Two folders begin with the first five characters of my Microsoft email, one of which uses the name of my machine.



    How do I delete the last four folders? Something to do with the registry? I believe the dupes came from failed attempts to change the folder name via the registry. Also, is it possible to hide Administrator and Public? Thanks!

  2. Removing a "hidden" user and user files

    Thanks for your patience. I was able with "Net User" to remove the left over user. It no longer appears when I invoke Net User.

    Now for the user's folder which remains behind. After performing the series of steps that you suggested, I attempted to delete this folder. The result again was an error message about permission

    "Administrators" appears on the list in the list of advanced security.

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    Sharing User created Puzzles

    I did figure out that exporting the User puzzles creates an archive file with both Long name and Long extensions. And once I delete one of the User Puzzles, then double clicking on one of the export User files, will load that puzzle back.

    I was just asking that I would just copy the Backup Downloaded Puzzle Packs back to the location MS Jigsaw setups should I ever need to reinstall MS Jigsaw.

    I backed up he specific Puzzle Packs subdirectories maintaining the file structure.
