How to Delete a User Account?

[Guest]

I have Windows XP Home. My son created a 2nd User Account for himself. We
want to delete one of them. When I go to Control Panel - User Accounts -
click on the ACcount which is a Limited Account - and Select Delete, the
computer freezes. Something to do with mshta.exe. Any way, all the files in
the DUH file we are trying to delete have been removed. We can't delete the
User Account though. Please advise. Thanks!

Rather than using the Control Panel's "dumbed-down" User applet, try
clicking Start > Run, and type in "control userpasswords2." You will
need to be logged in using an administrative account, of course.
