    Create / Rename / Delete User Account

    What items are created when a user account is setup? I recently setup a new account and it copied a number of files from another account.

    What happens when you change the name on a user account? Does it change the name of that users Documents and Settings folder?

    What happens when you delete a user account? What files and folders are removed?

    Are there any differences on any of these between XP Home and XP Pro?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jody Wood

    Basically a Documents and Settings\username folder is created, which will have the My Documents, Start Menu, Application Data, etc.. subfolders.

    When you change the account name it will change everything except the folder name in Documents and Settings. That name is unchangeable.

    When the account is deleted all the files and folders in Documents and settings\username are deleted.

    It's the same in Home & Pro.
