Hi Everybody,

I have a basic question. This is probably all very normal, but as far as I can remember there are only three possible users on my compute .... "me", a "guest", and a mysterious "Administrator".

But, My "C:\User\" DIRECTORY shows a bunch of users I don't recognize, and although I would like to know how they got there, I would like to eliminate them if possible ... unless that would be a stupid idea:

C:\Users
Administrator
Default
Default.migrated
DefaultAppPool
DefaultAppPool.IIS AppPOOL
Guest
jPaulB <-That's me
Public
TEMP
TEMP.PAULDESKTOP
TEMP.PAULDESKTOP.000​

Is this a normal thing for Windows-10 to be doing?

Thanks,

Paul

Administrator and Guest are built-in accounts and should only be there if those accounts are enabled and have been logged into. Default, DfeaultAppPool are normal for Windows 10, Public is the 'All Users' directory and has existed since Vista. The TEMP profiles can be removed. The DefaultAppPool.IIS was probably added because you have either the full IIS or express version of IIS installed.
