Mike, I understand that there is a quirk in XP that will not allow you to log on as Administrator during a normal boot. Try booting up in SAFE Mode.

Are you logged on as an Administrator? What is this account that you are trying to delete? You cannot delete built-in accounts. How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783 John Mike wrote: > I'm trying to delete 1 user account can anyone help

You can't do this as a Limited User, accounts can only be delete by users with administrative privileges, you have to log on as an Administrator to delete accounts.

Follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279783 Or enter lusrmgr.msc in the Start Menu Run box and then click on the Users folder, there you will be able to delete user accounts.

That applies to Windows XP Home only and it only applies to the built-in Administrator account, any other user with administrative credentials can create and delete accounts. As for Windows XP Pro you can log on normally with the built-in Administrator account, simply hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the logon screen to obtain a login dialog box and enter the proper credentials.
