2 User Folders one User Account
I have 2 User Folders - say Mog and Mog-PC in my C drive under Users. But I do not have a User ACCOUNT for Mog - only one, an Administrative Account, for Mog-PC which is the one I use most. In trying to get rid of
Mog I have set up 2 other administrative accounts with completely different names and a Standard User Account and copied most of the Mog and Mog-PC folders over to each of them.
Most recently I discovered some of the Mog files were checked as shared, so I went all through Mog and Mog-PC ensuring none of the folders were shared. I then tried deleting Mog Folders AFTER moving any that did not appear in Mog-PC over to Mog-PC. I ran into trouble with deleting the Desktop Folder (most of Mog-PC Desktop disappeared as well). When I tried to delete the Mog User FOLDER, it was obvious the system was deleting files and folders from Mog-PC so I hastily cancelled. (I do have backups to external hard drives of all important stuff).
Anyone any ideas as to what, short of clean installing, I can do about this. System restore has stopped working recently as well. My Windows disk is OEM from Mesh who made encouraging noises about sending a disc when I first rang but who are not answering my emails since. I may have to try to borrow one from friends of my son but wonder if there is anything else I can do first ?
Thanks if you are reading this - even more thanks if you have any ideas even if only to confirm clean reinstall is the only way forward.
