I had to reintall WinXP SP2 on my laptop over my existing WinXP due to a
conflict with Adaware and MaAfee Virus Plus. And no, I didn't have a back up!

After the installation, I had to reinstall the programs and drivers that
were previously installed.

When I first opened the My Documents folder, it was empty so I thought I had
lost all my previous document files. However, when I used Win explorer to
look at my C drive, I found that all my previous documents were in the folder
under my name. There is another folder under my name.lighthouse which is the
name I gave the computer when I reinstalled. There are no files in the
name.lighthouse folder.

So now I have Administrator and Administrator.lighthouse, All Users and All
Users.Windows folders, etc. Get the picture.

What should I do to have only the folders that were previously installed
only available and the appropriate association when I open My Documents

I appreciate your help.
