I thought I did the same thing on each of the three computers, all done
through Control Panel, but I have three different results.

On computer one I have 4 C:\Users: Default, Don, Don_2, and Public.
In Control panel there are two users Don, and ComputerAdmin
On computer two I have 3 C:\Users: Don, Don_2, and Public.
In Control Panel I have Don and ComputerAdmin
On computer three I have 3 C:\Users: Don, Svetlana, and Public. (I
honestly don't remember creating the User Svetlana)
In Control Panel I have Don and ComputerAdmin.

How do I coordinate the computer Users so they are all the same? Do I do it
through Control Panel, or via C:\Users?
How do I know which are the true Administrator accounts? Do I delete all
Users and start from scratch? Sorry I don't know where to start.
Thanks for the help,
Don
