My neighbor just bought a PC with XP Home operating system, which has
two User accounts. He wants to eliminate user accounts and keep his home
PC with no login system. May be this keeps his control over his teen age
children.

Also he wants to update to IE7 instead of using the IE6. I think individual
users need to update individually for the same IE7. May be this is another
reason to remove multiple operators from the same home PC.

How do I remove the multiple login accounts from his XP Home operating
system ?

Please help.

If he wants to keep control over his teenage children then removing users is
NOT the way to go. He needs to create Limited Users for each of his children
and put a strong password on any administrator account so they can't mess up
the system.
 
If you remove basically the login system, then that means ANYONE can reboot
the system and come into the system as administrator and DO ANYTHING THEY
WANT!!!!

Set a password on the builtin Administrator account that came with Windows
XP, Create another Administrator account for yourself -- password protected,
and Limited User accounts -- password protected as you see fit or if it
doesn't matter to the kids, unprotected.

But protect the Emergency Administrator account (only to be used when fixing
the system) and your account.
