Find security identification code

Your SID code can be one of the following three options:

1. Your SID code is listed twice, with and without a.BAK tail.
2. Your SID code is only listed oncewith a.BAK extension (eg S-1-5-21-2795999757-2048908912-3492586281-1000.bak).
3. Your SID code is only listed once and does not havea.BAKextension(eg S-1-5-21-2795999757-2048908912-3492586281-1000).

Although your SID code belongs to any of the three options above, the process is similar and there are only a few minor differences.Follow all the steps below in order, but only the steps out of your options.For example, if your SID code is optional 2, then you do not delete the duplicate folder, but will follow the two steps below to rename the directory and change the directory path.
