Unnecessary User takes up space

[Olive]

It appears when I originally set-up my computer it link a
user name with the serial number. There is a second user
tied to the OS and it is killing performance as sharing is
an issue. Cannot find how to fix this problem. DO I have
to rebuild? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (I
have XP home)

Maybe I am missing something.
You have two users on your computer and you think that is killing
performance?
This is a stand-alone, not in a domain PC.
You only want ONE user?

Delete all the other users.

Its not that easy, at least I don't think. User "A" is
tied to Serial number... while User "b" is tied to System.

I tried to delete and it wouldn't let me.

Thanks for the help.

Eh?

while User "b" is tied to System.

Eh?

Log in as Administrator
In Home Edition boot into Safe mode, or in Pro press Ctl-Alt-Del twice
at the welcome screen.
Then delete whatever accounts you want to in Control Panel-Users and
Accounts.
Note - you CANNOT delete the built-in Administrator Account, nor, I
think, the guest account.
