Delete an Admin account

[Stuart Pope]

Hi

I have two administrator accounts in my windows xp Pro.

One is called Administrator and the other is Stuart, both accounts are admin
accounts. Now heres the problem I cannot delete either of the accounts,
there is no delete option listed when I log in and go to User accounts in
the control panel. I installed the o/s about 6 months ago and did not setup
up anything else other than these two accounts. How do I delete an admin
account?

Thanks in advance
Stuart

Well for a start, you cannot delete the built-in Administrator account
anyway.....

Do not touch/delete the built-in Administrator account! This is an
important account which must be kept. It is used for "internal" XP
set ups and can be used to fix your Stuart account password, if you
forget/screw it up.

Do not delete the built-in Administrator account!

You can't.......

The built-in Administrator account *CANNOT* be deleted. You could,
however, log in to it and then delete any other (non-built-in) account.
