    (Admin Name.Pc Name) Duplicated User Acc Suddenly Appears!


    Hi,

    Let's say I named my initial user acc during win installation 'Steve'. And entered computer name as 'T2X'.

    Today I realised that under C:\Users, in addition to the User Acc 'Steve', i have another called 'Steve.T2X'.
    Some of the windows settings and programs i have begun installing are in my original 'Steve' account folder, some are on the duplicate.

    Under Control Panel>User Accounts, i do not see any 'Steve.T2X', just 'Steve'.

    Why did this happen, and more importantly how do i merge both user physical FOLDERS (since under User Account it's ok, there is still only one admin account) back to 'Steve'?

    I can't create a new admin acc, delete the first etc. because i would lose all the windows settings and tweaks i have been working on.

    Just want to merge the physical folders under C:\Users.

    Thanks in advance.

    Can i just physically copy over all the directories under 'Steve.T2X' to 'Steve' copy & replace, then somehow delete 'Steve.T2X'?

    Let me point out again that at Logon/under Control Panel> User Accounts, i have no new user account appearing, there's still only my main Admin Acc 'Steve'. This problem is in physical file/folder structure under c:\users itself.

    Did you delete and recreate the "Steve" account? Doing that would have created a new user profile, resulting in two sets of folders for Steve.

    I'm not sure how to merge the two.

Splash.exe has appeared in Notification Area Icons. Splash.exe is not listed in Programs list. I've read various pages on what it is. My first question, though, is why did it just recently appear? And, even if I wanted to get rid of it, there is no listing for it, just that Notification Area item.
