How to eliminate multiple user profiles

[PT]

Windows XP (Home) permits multiple user profiles. These create a set of
icons at bootup for each user. However, now we'd like to get rid ogf
individual users, and have a single profile, which doesn't cause the choices
to be presented at startup.

In the Documents and Settings Folder there appear to be a set of somewhat
duplicated folders, one for each user, for all users, for owner, and guest.
I assume I'd have to delete some of these, but which? And how?

Go into Control Panel - User Accounts and delete the accounts you no
longer want to have.

Good luck
