    Remove Public folders?


    I wish I had not installed Windows 7. There are too many things I have no use for. The libraries and public user are two examples. I have managed to rid Windows Explorer of the Libraries. Now I would like to know how to delete the Public user account. I have tried deleting the folders inside, but some of them keep reappearing. The same with the main Public user folder. Please help.

Can't see all public folders

I have a handful of folders that I have moved into Public Documents on my W7 machine. All but two of them can be seen from Shared Documents on my XP3 machine. I have compared Properties between folders that can be seen and those that can't, to no avail. I can't see any differences. Any thoughts...
