You are babbling around a mess that you have created...

The only thing that counts is what is in "Local Users and Groups" >
"Users"...that can be gotten to by right clicking on "My Computer", either
on your desktop or in the start menu. Clean that up...ie delete all, except
the administrator and the guest account.

Next cleanup the registry...all of your past a present users are there under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\... the S-1-5-18, S-1-5-19 and S-1-5-20
accounts are needed for windows to work, so do not touch them. The
S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxx accounts are the ones listed in
CP or deleted accounts. You have one of two choices here...because I am
explaining this to you, I suggest that you delete the whole S-1-5-21-...
folders, except the administrator account, and start all over again. The
other option is to edit the information here to what you want it to be...I
don't think that you have the computer savey to accomplish this option, that
is why I suggested the former.

As Confusion say..."Rots of Ruck!"
