Greetings, I lost msn, so decided to install Xp again, I thought it had
formatted my system so created a new login name!

I now find out that it didn't delete my old login, but has created a
dupilcate windows system folder entry in my documents and settings (e.g. 2
names with 2 of everything in it!).

My orginal system folder still has all my documents, favourite, etc in it
the other had nothing in it e.g. empty favorites and documents.

When I check my user accounts only my original login is there, the duplicate
is missing.

How do I delete the duplicate folder? as at the moment it tells me that I
can't delete it as it is a Windows system folder and is required by windows
to run properly

Have you tried restoring your system to a point before you created the
second account?
