I want to delete the administrator user that automatically
comes up when the windows login screen appears. I tried
adding a new Administrator to be able to delete but the
old is not there to delete. I also went in to control
panel,system,advance tab,users profile, the one I want to
delete is in there but when I highlight it the delete key
is not available. Please help.

Just set up another user - the Administrator Account will then be hidden by
default. You can't delete the inbuilt administrator account anyway, so stop
trying!
BTW you should NOT use the Administrator Account for day-to-day usage.
Create a User with Administrative Rights and use that.
