In my WinXpProSP2 I need 1 account (mine), but there are
5. For example, there's an account called "User" (admin)
that doesn't appear in Control/System/User Accounts, but
does appear in My Computer.

Can I delete or rename this account? How? Will the
registry recognise/deal-with the rename?

What about the "Administrator", "All Users", and "Default
User" accounts? Can I delete or rename any of these? How?
Will the registry cope?

Thanks for any help.

You can't delete "Administrator" and do NOT be tempted to delete or rename
"Al Users" and "Default user" accounts. These are system-created accounts
and are necessary for running Windows. Especially, the account called
"Administrator" is your lifeline into the system when a User account goes
belly-up.
