How many CAN you have?
Thousands I would suspect.

How many *should* you have.. At least one - I suggest two.

Being Windows XP Home - you have two already.. Yours and the official (and
useable through safe mode) "administrator" account.

Unless you have some compelling reason to delete other accounts on your
machine - just disable them if you don't need them - leaving your active
account (you) and the "administrator" account alone - but well passworded.
