Users And Passwords

Hello once again! I am still messing with this Dell Latitude Laptop, and have got yet another issue. I am in the Control Panel (win2kpro), in "users and passwords" and have the following log-in options:

Administrator
DJ
Guest

I want to delete the 'DJ' account completely, while leaving the other two, however, the 'users and passwords' box, which lists all three, wont let me do anything with it. It won't even let me select 'add', 'remove' or 'properties' on any of these. Whether logged in as administrator or DJ. It is showing full control on both accounts, yet I cannot even get into it to do what I need. Am i missing something here? Thanx, in advance...

Or try it from safe mode, logging in on the administrator account. You should then be able to access user accounts through control panel and then change them at will.

Log in as Administrator, right click My Computer, Manage. Go to local users and groups, users. Right click on the account and choose Delete.
