View Full Version : Delete a user profile

In my previous job, I used my personal laptop to connect to the Windows 2000
domain.

Now that I no longer work there, I'd like to get rid of that user profile.
When I go to System Properties, Advanced tab, User Profiles, Settings, and
point to that profile, the Delete button is disabled.

I'm a Local administrator for this machine.

Thanks!

Dave

This is a stupid "feature". You'll need to create another user account with
Admin rights before you can delete this one. The "Administrator" account
doesn't count towards this.
