Can anyone help me to complete the deletion of unwanted users. From
Administrator account I have deleted User from User Account, and in My
Computer\Manage\Users deleted both references. But the folder \Documents and
Settings\Deleted User, will still not let itself be deleted. What else do I
have to do please!
Thanks

Did you try looking at the running processes to see if there are any from
that user? End task on them, then you should be able to delete the
folder.

Try booting in Safe Mode (pressing the F8 key repeatedly while
booting) and delete the folder from there.

Good luck
