I created another user on the Windows 2000 machine. Now I would like the
new user to be the default login. How do I do this, so I can delete the
original (first) user from the system?

You can run regedit.exe and navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password. (note: the password for an
autologon account can not be blank)

This is what I was looking at however, I don't have the key DefaultPassword.
I have the same name for AltDefaultUserName & DefaultUserName

If it doesn't exist then create it as type Reg_Sz
