I have a clean xp install, when I boot, setup bypasses the login phase and
boots into my desktop. I am known as Administrator. Anyway I got everything
the way I like it in this account but wanted to create a unique user account
with these settings so I created another account called Timax with
administrator privaleges but when I go to the admin account in Control panel
>>>>User accounts it does not give me the option to delete it, moreover I

have since deleted the Timax account yet it still appears in documents and
settings. I still have these folders Administrator.... all Users and Timax.
If I manually try to delete the Timax folder it says that I cant. Any Ideas?

I want to boot to login screen with just a Timax option (Password protected)

The built-in Administrator account *cannot* be deleted.

Leave it alone.

How do you propose doing that, if you've deleted the account and you
keep trying to delete the "Timax" user profile?
