Does anyone know what's in this? It's a whole lot of database files which look like they go back quite aways. I'm wondering if it's safe to get rid of them...computer wants to open them with Access, but it doesn't work.

I'm on an HP laptop running XP Media Center... It probably has something to do with it being a work computer. The other names could be log in names for other associates.

Yeah, they could be roaming profiles or something to that nature. I wouldn't do anything with them unless your IT guy said it was ok. I don't have that directory listing on my work computer, but it's not part of a server/client network either, it's just a stand alone computer.
