I just built a new computer and installed XP Pro fresh. I set up a user account called Scott See. But my My Documents ended up in a subfolder of

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott See.ASROCKX58\

ASROCKX58 is the computer name.

There was also a folder called

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott See\

But in the control panel, there was only one user listed, Scott See.

So I changed My Documents to point to the My Documents folder under \Scott See\ so all my paths match my old computer, but all my other \Documents and Settings\ settings are in \Scott See.ASROCKX58\

Any idea what's up with that? It's not a problem, per se, but a bit curious and makes it just a tad more difficult to back things up and make sure there are no duplicates.

Thanks,
