users

I have two different users that can log on to my xp machine. I want to delet one of them but don't want to loose any of the information, files etc. and still want to be able to access them after deleting the user. Can this be done and what happens

Hi Russ,

You can retain the files after removing an account. This is how you do it.

Start - Control Panel - User Accounts - Click on your User Account. Select
Delete Account.
As you go through the wizard, it will ask you if you want to delete or keep
the files. Choose Keep the files.
After it finishes, it will create an folder on your desktop with the files
from that user that were stored in the My Documents directory and below &
whatever was on the Desktop.

Hope this helps.
