Two profiles for the accounts you made...
One profile for the built-in administrator....
I don't know about the 4th profile

plus one more administrator

That is the built-in administrator for troubleshooting purpose. Don't mess
with that.

There are hidden accounts in XP. To see all profile folders in explorer:
.... Control Panel > Folder Options
.... View tab
.... Uncheck "Hide protected system files(Recommended)"

Hi,

At some point your user profiles were corrupted, new ones were created (the
ones that are likely appended with a dot-suffix) to compensate for them.
Either that or you did an "over the top" reinstallation (not the same as a
repair installation) and created new profiles with the same name.
