142239 2003-05-07 23:27:00 How do I delete an user account in Win XP? From the User Accounts in Control Panel, I can only see create a new account, change account types, etc. but there isn't any option for me to delete an account.

Is this feature hidden somewhere else?

142241 2003-05-07 23:48:00 Got it. I can't actually delete and administrator account.


Thanks, anyway.

This is so that you never loose having an 'Administrators' account, even if you delete the origional Administrator, and just have 'Joe Bloggs' as the Admin.

You can also Right-Click on My Computer and select Manage. Click on Local Users/Groups, and then Users.. play around in there too, as you can make people Power Users etc. rather than just 'Users' or the Guest :-)
