Today i noticed some folders in the "Documents & Settings" folder, but these dont occur in the "Welcome Window"



there are three new USER ACCOUNT names in the "Documents & Settings" folder, they are---

=>Administrator.YOUR-ABB2E4D9A7.000 => Last modified-"March 6th"

=>Administrator.YOUR-ABB2E4D9A7 => Last Modified => "Yesterday May 16th 7:16 PM"

=>Owner => Last Modified - "February 24th"

I don't Know when these got created. Currently My PC has Two Administrator Accounts (one Factory Created
& the other created by me), their names---

=>HP Owner
=>Most Wanted

The other accounts folder ( which are system made [i think])
=>All Users
=>Administrator
=>Default User

Is it because of a virus these folders got created?


so can i delete the other three account folders mentioned first.

My PC Config--

HP Pavilion, XP Home Edition SP 2 , 256MB RAM

NO, i did not Reinstall XP, but i had done the SYSTEM RESTORE two times (of one, which was not successful),

so this is the problem, CAN i DELETE the three accounts SAFELY???

of all these accounts which are made by the SYSTEM???
