    of days ago.well i wiped the disc in the end and reinstalled it all again.
    i am still in the prosses of installing the programs i have scanning each one as i install them. I have a Gateway  GM5014b mediacenter 2005 edition.
    Windows xp 2 professiional.
    Dual core AMD 64x2.   today i noticed in My computer-local disc C/  documents
     and settings, aministrater, all users, paul.

    It now says,administrater,all users,DEFAULT,paul. (default in normall case letters) can anyone tell me what this folder. is its never been there before??

    Mine says default user. Harmless, though. What's inside?

      Did you recently set your computer to show hidden files and folders?  On all of my recent computers, this folder has always been hidden, so that would be my guess.
