How do I eliminate a tempoarry account?

[Chris]

From within the Admin account I created a Limited temporary account
(Temp) in order to try to resolve some problems I am experiencing. I
have subsequently deleted the Temp account, taking the option to delete
all of Temp's files. When I then re-create the Temp account I find
it is still picking up settings from the deleted account. I presume
there must be some settings somewhere (Registry?) that are not
deleted/reset when I delete the Temp account. How can I delete all
traces of the Temp account? I realise I could create yet another
temporary account with a different name, but I'd prefer to be able to
eliminate all traces of the original Temp account. For some reason
Windows restore to a point before I created the Temp account is not an
available option.

TIA.

Chris.

Same with Eusing, my choice after 1st time use is not to tick > MRU &
History lists.

Auto Delete Temporary Folder

First go into gpedit.msc ( only available in the Pro version of XP )

Next select -> Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Windows Components > Terminal Services > Temporary Folder

Then right click "Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit"

Go to properties and hit disable.

Now next time Windows puts a temp file in that folder it will
automatically delete it when its done!

I have WinXP Home, and have tried manually deleting the contents of the
Temp folder, and edittig the associate index.dat file, but to no avail.
