multiple accounts in XP

When I run spybot on my Win XP, I see 4 accounts listed (Under the line where
it shows 'Internet Explorer (32/64 bit):

Default
777ER
Administrator
Chris (Boeing)

However when I go to Control panel User Accounts

I only see these accounts:

Administrator
777ER
Guest


Now when I navigate to: My Computer C:\ drive Documents and Settings
it shows up:
777ER
Administrator
All Users
Chris
Chris.BOEING
Default User

I am on 777ER currently and would like to keep this one.

I don't understand why the 'Chris' and 'Chris.BOEING' accounts is not
appearing in the 'User Accounts'

How do I get rid of the unwanted accounts? That'll be the 'Chris' and the
'Chris.BOEING' accounts.

Thanks in advance for any help in this.

Those could be domain user accounts that have logged into the PC, but not
local accounts. It might be that Spybot is looking up in various places to
compile the list, whereas the Control Panel User Accounts only shows local
accounts (you'd need to use a domain user account tool to change domain
accounts). The other possibility is that they were local accounts at one
point, but have been deleted or renamed - but Spybot is still picking them
up because the Documents and Settings folder still exist containing their
NTUSER.DAT registry files.

I'd make a backup of those folders in Documents and Setttings (just in case
you need the files later), and then delete those folders. Run Spybot again
and see if it still lists them - if so, do a search of your registry for the
account names.
