I have several user accounts on windows xp. I want to delete them and just have one account for everyone to share, as so save some space on the hard drive, but I don't want to end up losing people's files. Please help!

there should be an administrative account and the rest should be guest accounts so erasing the guest accounts should not erase files and stuff only the administrator can do that. does that make sense? well good luck

When you delete an account u get an option to save the files and they are put into a folder on the master account. =)

I think Windows asks you if you wanna keep the files, but you could just backup the user folders you consider important by going into C:\documents and settings and copying folders for safe keeping to another location.

Transfer the files before you delete account. It is a simple drag and drop sequence.
