Administrators account

[Michael Mishler]

Windows XP Pro:

My computer usually boots up and automatically loads the Administrator
account as it is the only account on the system. While troubleshooting my
system, I installed a dummy account called 'DeleteMe' to test the
possibility of a corrupt profile. Now my system will not auto-logon to the
Administrators account, but instead auto-logs onto the 'DeleteMe' account
instead. I have, of course, attempted to delete the 'DeleteMe' profile, but
it doesn't allow it, because it's the only non-Administrative account
installed and seems to want to stick to that.,

Question:
How do I reverse what I've done and delete the 'DeleteMe' profile and make
the computer auto-log onto the Administrator account.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s). By design, the
only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to
reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at
the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.

Actually I meant to say that I did try that, because when I log into the
Administrators account and go into User Accounts in the Contol Panel, it
doesn't give me the option to delete the 'DeleteMe' account, just change
name, create password, change picture, etc.

Any ideas on how to delete the 'DeleteMe' account?
