Re: Windows XP Home - Can't use or delete user account

I am unable to login to a user account on my home PC running windows xp home. I also can't delete this account. What can I do?

Your post is a bit sparse on details. What account is it? What happens when you try to login to that account? How are you trying to delete it and what happens when you do try?


To delete a user account go to Start | Run. Type in "control userpasswords2" without the quotes, click ok. Click on the account name and click remove. Note - the built in Administrator account shouldn't and I don't think it can be removed.
