When the welcome screen comes up it has 2 user accounts and they are both
admin. accounts. One is a Admin account and the other is my old acount that
is also an admin. account. How do I get rid of the plain admin account that
was not there before?

Thanks,

Hi,

The plain admin account is a system default and cannot be removed. However,
once another account with admin-level privileges has been created, it should
become hidden from the Welcome screen.

Rick,

That's what I herd but I have My account that is an admin account and the
plain admin account and they both come up on the welcome screen and in the
users accounts. How do I fix this to where the plain admin account disappears
like it is supposed to.

Thanks,
Dennis
 
Yes, I have logged into my account and the plain admin account both and no
change. This started when I upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro.

Hi Dennis,

Create another admin account and see if that resolves it. If so, then there
is an issue with the "old" admin account.

Rick,

I created a new admin account and deleted my old one and the plain one still
shows up on the welcome screen.

Thanks,
