I intend to clean my pc (win XP SP3) and find several general user
accounts which all house local settings : Administrator, All Users,
Default User, {my user name}, LocalService, NetworkService, Owner. I am
the admin and have a single account , {my user name}.

Do I need a user account if I am the user ?

Can I, should I try to integrate all the user accounts, i.e. All Users,
Default User, {my user name}, Owner, into a common one ?

Does this accelerate the PC ?
Does it save space ?

Thanks

Leave things the way they are - Windows XP is a multi-User OS. The number
of actual physical beings using the PC is irrelevant to that fact.

After that (the answer to the first question) - in order...

No.

No - it'd break it.

Not really - and even if it could be done - if the space you would 'save'
actually made a difference - you already had issues you needed to address.
