? about start up screen

[mr again]

Hi, Can you please answer a question regarding my windows
home XP??
When I first turn on my pc, it says,"to begin, click your
user name.We have 5 user accounts,One for each member &
one spare one (not guest)
When I went on mine, and then wanted to go to my "C"
drive>then doc. & settings, I noticed that there was 8
user accounts/files to pick from. Only two matched the
ones from the welcome screen (when pc first starts)
I will give an example but will change names for
privacy.Start up screen says: "Mom's game">" small-
Monica">"HMO Inc">"JENNIFER">then "Store" (being the 5th
one)-But my "c' drive on documents & settings says: 'All
users'>'default user' (hidden folder)>" HMO Inc">"
JENNIFER">' business'>'Monica'>'Mary'>and 'Owner' (being
the 8th one)-
HOW is it possible for there to be 3 more names on the
documents & settings part. Its not like I dont recognize
some of the names on there.But why does it not match in
the start up menu.
Is it possible that some of the names listed in the
second list had an account at one time but changed the
name on them or were deleted. This may seem like a
nonsense ? but it is bothering me and I tried to look
for the reason but need your help. Thanxs in advance.

Hi Mr Again,
You should have the listing of all your account you put. If you did not make
them private
Common Profiles you will find two profiles that aren't associated with a
particular account:
All Users and Default(This file is hidden), Owner
All Users: The content folders apprears for all users who log on to the
computer in addition to the content of each users own profile. ie items in
the AllUsers\Desktop folder appear along with items that current user has
saved on the desktop
Default User:When a user logs on to the computer for the first time Windows
creates a new local profile by coping the content of the Default User folder
to a new folder and gives it the users name
Owner: The Main Account Set by OEM
your 5 + these 3 = 8
