Deletion of previous Users, not on the Login Menu

[Rob]

I have re-installed Xp on my computer with a new user
name (the only one currently on the login window).
However, when I access "My computer" there are still old
user names there, which I can not delete, because it says
they are in use (Access Denied). Any ideas on how to
delete them? Note: The user I am using is an
Administator. Thanks

If you refer to the old profiles within Documents and Settings=20
then, if you are sure they are old and useless, you can delete=20
them by taking ownership over them.
Take Ownership see Help and Support, or=20
