You can't do this as a Limited User, accounts can only be delete by
users with administrative privileges, you have to log on as an Administrator to delete accounts.

Follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783 Or
enter lusrmgr.msc in the Start Menu Run box and then click on the Users folder, there you will be able to delete user accounts. John Mike wrote: O.K. I 'm logged on now as a administrator; now what?

Mike,
I understand that there is a quirk in XP that will not allow you to log on as Administrator during a normal boot. Try booting up in SAFE Mode. "Mike" wrote in message ... I'm trying to delete 1 user account can anyone help

That applies to Windows XP Home only and it only applies to the built-in
Administrator account, any other user with administrative credentials can create and delete accounts. As for Windows XP Pro you can log on normally with the built-in Administrator account, simply hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the logon screen to obtain a login dialog box and enter the proper credentials.
