Admin Account

How do I rename my admin profile and delete the guest user
on XP so I can avoid the new mumu virus?

[Alaa Abdelhalim [MSFT]]

1. Click Start menu, choose run and type "lusrmgr.msc"
2. Choose the "Users" node from the UI that pops up
3. Right-click Guest, choose properties and then check the "Account is
disabled" checkbox
4. Right-click Administrator, choose rename, and then type the new name.

Caveat: If you're running Windows XP Home or WindowsXP Pro with "Simple File
Sharing" and you disable Guest, remote users will no longer be able to
access files shared on your machine.
