I have 2 user profiles on my computer with Windows XP.
When the computer go to screen saver It always asks which
user when I cancel the screen saver. Is there a way I can
turn off the other user (like you can with the guest
profile). I only use the other profile a couple of months
a year (wife uses my computer when in Fla.) but I do not
want to delete it. If I delete her user profile will it
get rid of all her info?

Right-click My Computer, select Manage. Double-click Users and Groups.
Highlight Users. Right-click the account on the right that you want to
disable. Select Properties. Disable it. Just make sure the account that
you disable isn't the only account with Administrator privileges.

Reverse this when you're ready to use the account again.
