hi there, just wondering if anyone out there can help me. I currently have two user accounts set up on my computer, if i was to delete one of these what would happen to the information that is saved in that user account and not in the other?

Hope someone can help,

many thanks

It depends on what "data" you are referring to and how that "data" was originally setup.

For example....

If the My Documents folder for User_2 was setup as per the Windows default then the data in that folder would be lost if you deleted the account. However, if you had moved the My Documents folder to another location then the data would still be available. It would however not be readable if it was encrypted.

Specifically what type of data are you referring to?

it would be deleted
If you want to keep the info - have a look in documents and settings folder
you should see all users listed there
if you are an admin you can copy the files you need
my documents
Note outlook express/outlook files are also saved in that directory - do you need the emails and address books etc if using these programs

Suggest that you do the following: -

• Make sure that none of the data for User_2 is encrypted.
• Copy the data to another folder e.g. Data_User2.
• Make sure that User_1 can access the copied data.
• Delete User_2.
