I am running Vista Ultimate and somehow I now have a new account called
Administrator that shows up on my login screen, How do I get rid of this? I
have tried going to the command prompt C:\Windows\System32> and typed in '
net user administrator /active:no but this does nothing, In user accounts it
won't let me remove it, Any Ideas ! Could some help.
 
Hello,

what does "does nothing" mean? Any error message, or just nothing done?
Try re-executing the command with an elevated command prompt: Right-click
cmd.exe, select "Run as administrator" and write that again.

Hope it will work now.

Hi, Nothing means it does not remove the administrator account or disable
it, It still shows on the welcome screen and is still active, I tried running
the way you said "run as administrator" and it says 'cannot find user' if I
take out the 'net' it seems to accept it, but again nothing happens, maybe
I'm doing it wrong? After I type in net user etc should I just close it or
should I hit enter to activate the command.
 
Hello,
of course, you need to hit Enter ;)
So: Right-click cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator".
Type in
net user administrator /active:no
and hit Enter .
It should work now.

Hi this is what I get Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>net user administrator/active:no
The syntax of this command is:

NET USER
[username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]
username [/TIMES:{times | ALL}]


C:\Windows\system32> It is still There and on the welcome screen
 
Hello,

there is a blank space after 'administrator', as in

net user administrator /active:no

..
It's extremely important, because the command isn't processed correctly
without it.

Hello,

OK, then let's try it another way:
Press Windows-key + R -> gpedit.msc -> Enter .
In the left, expand
Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local
Policies -> Security Options .
In the right, you'll see an entry named
"Accounts: Administrator account status".
Double-click it and select "Disabled".

Hope this will work. Good luck!
