And what about that:
Administrator is not meant for regular working.I think you know that and
want to delete your current account because you want to create a new one. If
this is true, then it is not necessary to do the above, Just create the new
account then the delete option will be available.

Computer said:The account I am trying to delete is not the administrator account. It is
just one of six user accounts that are set up but no one uses this one. What
you just had me do did finally bring up "Local Users and Groups", but with a
message that my computer uses Windows XP Home Edition and that this snapin
may not be used with that version of Windows. It says to use the User
Accounts tool in the Control panel but that's what I have already tried and
this particular account does not have the delete button highlighted to click
on, though every other account, except my own, has the delete button
highlighted..

GateKeeper said:What you actually need to do in XP Home is this:
Log in to your Administrator account.
Click Start, Run... and type "control userpasswords2" without the
quotes. A dialog box will pop up that allows you to remove user
accounts. Take care that you do not remove the "Administrator" or
"ASPNET" accounts, as these are needed for your computer to work properly.
As you correctly pointed out, Local Users and Groups is not available in
XP Home.
