Even though I'm the administrator, I haven't been able to delete a user account in my PC, I have tried to do it from the safe mode, but still it doesn't work....

Anyone knows another way?

Thanks!!
 
Are you trying to access it thru the normal XP desktop? Have you tried deleting it thru the "Computer Management" screen in "Administrative Tools"?

Let me know if you need more info.
 
If this is XP home, in normal use, there is only one user (unless you added some)
You can;t really delete that user, as in normal operation, there would then be none. you would need to add a new user then delete the old one.

In XP pro and home, users should be deleted thru the computer management control panel applet. This will not remove their folders in documents and settings/ users however. these must be removed manually.
