In setting up a new computer I thought I would try using the Using the "User Accounts", and entered myself as the Administrator, and the other family members as "Limited Accounts". By doing this I have created a nightmare, now everytime I start the computer my Administrator Account does not appear, but everyone elsees does. HOW DO I GET RID OF ALL USER ACCOUNTS, INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATOR?
 
Hi

You won't be able to delete the original Administrator Account, but other Accounts can be deleted via:

Control Panel>User Accounts

You need to have one account called "Administrator". This account should
not be used as a regular, every-day account. In fact, in XP Home, the
default Administrator account will be hidden as soon as another user
account is created. You should make a new account for yourself and call
it something else - you can give that account administrative
privileges. Do not create an account that has the same name as the
computer; i.e., if your computer is named "Mike", don't create an
account called "Mike".
