How to get rid of Users
After I built my new comp. I installed Windows XP Home SP2. To make a long story short I put 2 people on as administrators and now I would like to have no administrators and just load right to the desktop, any way this can be accomplished? When I go to windows help it says that I can delete one but not both. Thanks

thats because without administrators, u cannot DO any installation.
administrator is not a fancy word, its to refer to the account that has unrestricted access to the computer heriachy. with it u also can access the windows registry, where access is required to install programs. if u ever manage to delete all admin a/cs, god help you because u're gonna need a reformat/ reinstallation of windows. |

Just create a power user level account or something with auto log in.

Go to the User Accounts in the Control Panel. Delete the other account leaving yours intact. If you have a .Net account and you aren't using the .Net framework, delete it too. This should leave you with one Admin (you) and a Guest account which is unused. Reboot and your system should go directly to the desktop.
