I'm sure this must be the most popular topic in these forums. I have read other posts but they don't seem to mirror exactly my problem. Hope somebody can help. I tried to migrate my data and local settings to a new computer. To do this I simply copied everything in my account folder under the document and settings. I then created my account on the new computer and copied all the folder contents from my account on the original computer to the new one, replacing any of the default info in the new accout. I hope that makes sense. I am not quite sure exactly what I did next but two things happened, first I could no longer access drives and shared folders on the other computers on the network and I ended up with two accounts "ua orig" and "ua orig.rod". The other computers on the network have the account "ua orig" so I can access various resources. I then used the mmc to delete "ua orig" on my new machine. The result being that the "ua orig" folder no longer has an account associated with it in the mmc. Everything works ok on my local machine, but I now have a reduntant account will lots of my files duplicated, so I would like to get rid of it and I still cannot get access to network resources. Do I need to delete my user account on all the other machines on the network and create another one with a different name? Any suggestion much appreciated The workstation is Win 2000 Professional. There is no server, just a serverless peer to peer network. Although I do plan to implement a server based system in the next six to twelve months. I don't use roaming-profiles for the user accounts. No domain server in use. TIA Rodney

In system properties select the user profiles tab, then delete appropriately

The duplicated user accounts are not listed here, only under the documents and settings folder. TIA Rodney
