normally when we created a new account in window xp using administrator
account, we still can delete the account. but in my case, i can't see the
delete button in the user account that i created.

this result in i can't logon to administrator account if i use the welcome
screen, because there will be shown the administrator account.

do anybody know how to delete the user account? or make the delete button
appear so that i can delete the account...

thank you.

Click to expand...

Create another account > Login to the created account
Control Panels > User Accounts > Select the account you want to delete
Delete it.

OR-

Start > Run > lusrmgr.msc > Users folder > Right click the account and click Delete

Good Luck, Ayush.

recommended* to use Administrator account as your main account.

If after the installation of Windows XP if you are automatically being login
with default Administrator account then creating a new account will cause the
inbuilt Administrator account to disappear from the Welcome Screen. Also the
new account that you will create have the Administrative rights and you will
not be able to change the Account Type to Limited.

As said by Ayush you can use TweakUi to make the Administrator account
appear on the screen. This way you will have both accounts on Welcome Screen.

The manual procedure to add administrator account to Welcome Screen is:

Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \
CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
Name the new value Administrator
Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data
Close the registry editor

If you don't want any other user then login to default Administrator account
and delete the user account from Control Panel - Users. If Windows doesn't
let you do this then try:

Right-click on My Computer - choose Manage
Expand Local Users and Groups - Users
RIght-click and Delete the account.

Restart your computer and check if you are automatically login to
Administrator account. If the Welcome screen appears with only Administrator
account (with no password) and you have to click on it to Login then:

1. Click Start - Run - type CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2
2. If "Users must enter a user name..." is checked then uncheck the option
and you will be asked to Enter the User Name and password. Type Administrator
and leave the password box blank (or type the password if any)

Hope this help, let us know!
