Re: How to delete one user???

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


If you type the following into the "Run" box on the 'Start Menu' you will have more
control than using the 'User Accounts' in control panel :

CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2

However, yes you can delete a user from the 'User Accounts' in control panel as long
as it's not the last administrator level account that's left.

Thank you JS, but I'm afraid to use another program. Would you happen to know if
also one could, as an administrator, go to Control Panel|User Accounts and just
delete the one I don't want?

Thanks again. Adela

Try Power Toy's Tweak UI from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Install, run and under Logon you will find check boxes to select the accounts you
want displayed and in the Autologon you can choose to Enable/Disable it by
Checking or un-checking the 'Logon automatically' option.

TweakUI is a very useful tool and is relatively safe for most users as they
don't need to use the registry editor or other less obvious methods to make
changes to Windows.

More Detail on available features in Tweak UI:

After your certain you have everything the way you
want it then you can delete the account you don't want.

Start/Run and enter: "control userpasswords2? (without the quotes)

Hello, a friend came to "fix" my computer and (for NO reason!) he reinstalled my
WinXP home ed. As a result each time I open the computer and/or take a long
pause from using it, it takes me to the opening page with 2 icons, representing
me as user but with different names (my old name, and the name he gave me on
reinstalling). It's really a pain because this takes me through several steps
each time!

I'm not sure what he did but so far as I can see he only got 3 programs in. Is it
possible to delete the 2nd user (me, but the new one) without affecting the 1st
user (me, but the old one?)

Please forgive this complication that I myself don't understand well, and thanks
so much! Adela
