Apparently I goofed something up while installing
Upon boot up and start I must choose between two 'users' (is that the
correct term?

On the screen I see two choices
"Bill' and 'Media2'

I only want 'Bill'

I am the ONLY person using this computer and 'Bill' set up the way I want.

I do not want to 'Switch Users'.

I am administrator.

Please and thank you.

Click to expand...

Log on as "Bill", the administrator. Open up Control Panel > User Accounts
and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Open "Media2" and delete
it.

You will be asked to store the "Media2" user files. Do that, examine the
files and folders afterwards and delete them if there is nothing there you
want to keep. If a "Media2" folder still exists in C:\Users\ after you
removed the account, you can safely delete it.

Thank you Charlie
In my control Panel, I do NOT have a 'User Accounts and Family Safety'
Just a User Accounts
Upon Opening, there is only me....Bill Administrator
No listing for the Media2

please and thank you

Go to this folder:

C:\Users\

Try to delete any "media2" folders.

Thanks that time it worked
For some reason the first time I went to 'Users' I couldn't see the Media2
account.
I took the safe way and 'saved' it before deleteing.
