I just installed windows xp pro full install version ....
I am the only user and I did give my computer a name
where i thought to believe that i would be the only
administrator to my computer .... For some reason my
computer boots up into this other administrator account
that i don't want , would love to delete this account ...
How can i delete this account ??? In the user account
section it shows the name i gave as being the
administrator and this other administrator which i find
to be very annoying ... How come my computer boots up
with this other administrator account , not the name i
gave to the computer but just administrator itself ....
 
Okay now i believe i figure out why it was doing that
under the User accounts where you meantion that i run ,
Well when i remove the check mark on Users must enter a
user name and password and so on , okay just as i click
apply to that another window pop up ( Automatically Log
On ) In the User name section it had Administrator , Well
all i did was change that to the name i gave my computer
and now it boots up into my account , also that other
administrator account isn't no longer listed , it just
now has the name i gave to my computer and guest ... This
is what i want in the first place .....
 
This happens to many users as the System Admin is set by default. One needs
to use the drop box or....

In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the "user name and
password" for the account you want to be logged on each time you start your
computer.

Note: When another admin account is added, the system admin account becomes
hidden.
Tip: To view the System Admin account: Press Control/Alt/Delete Twice for
Pro and Boot into safe mode and login for Home.
