  1. Windows Installation is a mess with multiple program paths and users


    Hello!
    This is my win version:

    Windows Installation is a mess with multiple program paths and users [​IMG]


    My issue is that I tried to migrate two separate user accounts from an OLD windows installation (Years ago)that I had recovered.
    Now, I worry that if I just start copy and pasting files I'm going to have file path errors, and lose data in the mix.
    I'm used to the old system, not the windows account login authentication that came with win10 (I believe), where my file system of old, didn't mix with the heirarchy I guess? Obviously I'm not an expert. My user accounts and permissions are out of wack because of this too, simply moving files and creating files in each subdirectory of the Users/ area is upsetting.
    My registry is a mess, and it scares me to think about trying to unravel it there.

    ULTIMATELY my goal is to merge all of my information into one user account, BACK it all up, Buy a massive SSD and start fresh on a new install of windows with all my (double user) files that exist on my current system. I don't know too much about .img files except for hosting .iso through daemon tools...

    Can you guys help me with this? I'll try to post an example of the multiple installations and users that all operate under one windows install:

  3. Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

    Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?
