Multiple Administrator in Documents and Settings

In a prevous thread a reinstall created multiple Admins in the Documents and Settings, I am having the exact same problem. In my case I had installed MS Office 2007 the attempted to uninstall - which gave me horrible problems, I attempted to reinstall MS Office 2003. My Outlook would work at all. All other programs seemed to be fine, then my Photoshop said it did not have the codes - I don't know what could have caused that one... Then my MSCONFIG didn't work. So after many hours of trying to rid myself of 2007 and have all these what seemed to be files just disappering, I finally gave into reinstalling my xp, I attempted the repair but it said it couldn't because my system was newer - so then I just told it to write over the file that was there. Now - I have to administrators. I have tryied to delet the "new" ones, but am told they are Window system files and can not be deleted. So my questions is how the heck to I get rid of this new Admins - as stated above in a previous post my files are also duplicated.
Thanks!

PS I attempted to post this to that tread but was told in was over 30 days old... So here we go again... LOL

 

Hi Steve, No they don't it only shows my *new* account and guest just as it normally would. It wasn't until this morning when I begain the process of installing my programs that it informed me the files already existed - and I found my "old" admins under Documents and Settings with all my files (that I thought were wiped clean) So I'm assuming when I reinstalled it created new Admins. When I log onto windows, I only see "Sunny and Guest" which are the only 2 that show up under User Accounts. These are the following files that were duplicated in Documents and Settings. Administrator, All Users, guest, Sunny the duplicate files are named Administrator.Laura, All Users.Windows, Guest.Laura and Sunny.Laura
I would like to delete the later which are the *new* ones created after reinstall. As I had said, I had attempted a repair which wouldn't work, so I done a reinstall using the same folder. Which it warned me would delete "My documents" I assumed it was going to delete everything. I would love to get by without deleting all of my programs, after all I believe I was just having issues with my system files after trying to remove MS 2007. Apparently there is a problem with the uninstall of MS Office 2007 - I hate to say it but it's almost virus like. The add/remove programs wont uninstall it, the uninstaller wont, Microsoft has this list of things to do to uninstall but makes note that it will not uninstall all of it... what a pain! At any rate, I believe I have removed it all from the computer, and reinstalled new system files - which is great, now I'm updating the system and installing my drivers (which are gone) I've checked my programs and they all seem to work. I just don't see the point in have duplicate files. Is it possible that I somehow created a duplicate opperating system on the same hard drive instead of replacing and over writing the old one?
Thanks in advance!
