1 user account too many

[KAM]

My daughter has 2 user accounts. 1 is Administrator and the other is her
Name.
She wants to delete the second one, but she and I looked in the Control
panel under User, and many others and see none that DELETES this second
user. How is it done?

Also, when she starts up she sees the name (2nd one, not administrator)
and she has to click that on to get to the desktop. On my own computer I
do not get that and it gets me to the desktop immediately. What does she
have to do to also by pass this?

Hi,

She has just established a user account, where as you are still logging on
as "default user". These steps will get her an autologon:

Start/run "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes).

Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow
the prompts to set up a default logon.

One should not run as the administrator. If she were to delete her regular
user account, that is all she would have left. To remove the account (which
I recommend against), she should restart in Safe mode, logon as
administrator, then delete the user account.
