Duplicate folders for each user account ???

I was having some difficulty yesterday upgrading my laptop to xp pro sp2
from the home edition. It wasn't recognizing the key as valid (which it
was). Ultimately I did get it to succeed but there were aborted setup
attempts. All looks good now except that I now have 2 sets of folders for
each user with names like:

1) username and then 2) username.computername

The system is using 2) actively it seems although I'd prefer the other. The
login screen and user accounts in the control panel only shows username.
What is the best way to straighten this out?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Basically you have two installations. You can retry running the upgrade on
the original installation by booting from the CD and seeing if it is
recognized, but it's more likely that you are stuck now with installation #2
(which is basically a clean install, you will have to reload programs for
them to work).
