Re: Windows xp Prof remove Administrator acct

I followed your procedure and I didn't need to login on reboot. But I lost
all of my computer settings, desktop, email, folder settings and a many more
things. Then I followed your procedure again and selected my account and
didn't enter any password as I never have used PW. Rebooted my computer,
never had to login so worked out good. Maybe I missed something on your
procedure - I sure didn't want to lose my computer settings. Got all back so
worked out good. Thanks

Frank,

You can setup automatic logon without removing the additional user
accounts.
Follow these steps:

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2, and click Ok. The
built-in
Administrator account is highlighted by default, in the dialog. So, you
need
to select the user account from the list (the account to which you want to
automatically logon). Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password
to
use this computer" option, and click Ok. Type the user account password
and
complete the process.

I would like to know how to remove my administrator account so I don't
have
to login on boot up. I am the only person who uses this computer.
