Re: [Simply Computers] Old users

 

Hi Trevor

Just a side note ... if you read these postings for a while, you'll notice that people prefer to put the newest comments on the top, instead of the bottom, so that we all don't have to scroll all the way down to read the latest.

Just lazy I guess, but that's the way it's usually done.

HOBBIES etc. then copied these over to new computers etc. Now retired I find myself getting quite confused as well as now running short of space on the HDD, can simply delete these now redundant folders. They do not show up under CONTROL PANEL / USER ACCOUNTS. >
