I just purchased a Dell Laptop (used) that has Vista Home Basic installed. While
I am very familiar with XP I have found some differences in Vista that I need help
with.
When I view the root directory in a file manager I see a new "Users" directory. It
contains the names of two users (mr. A and Mr. B), a "public" and "All" folders.
I assume the folders with names were set up from the person I bought the unit from.
In "Users" under control panel I changed the name of one folder to myself as admin.
The other user name (Mr. B) that I referenced above does not show up at all.
Whenever I install something key parameters go into the User B folder and not User
A which is now me.
How do I get rid of this User B folder. I tried deleteing it but it only partially
deleted and it took everything I installed with it. Was able to do a system restore
to get things back.
It seems to me that this "User" folder is like "Documents etc" under XP.
SO how do I get rid of this unwanted user?
I have also done some Vista updates of the last few days. One of the always fails
to install. It is "Microsoftnet.Framework 3.5 and Net Framework family update KB951847x86.
I got an error message 00003701.
The system keeps telling me to install this update but it either fails of just keeps
saying preparing to install. Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
