[nfbcs] Deleting the login screen in XP

[Jim Antonacci]

Bryan:

That is correct.  I have deleted all other users and am left with only the
one user for the account and the guest, which cannot be deleted but is
turned off.

When I used the control userpassword the computer indicated that windows was
starting but it never did.  When I used alt-tab it took me to the login
screen and I picked the only user that was left and hit return as I had
deleted the password and then the machine finished booting up.

I know I did this once when I set  up a user that I did not want and later
deleted all of this.

Still trying.

Jim

hi,

i read it as he doesn't want to delete the entire user, just the password
prompt on boot.
you can also type control userpassword2 in the run window.

  Here is the easiest way to delete a user---just make sure you are set up
as
  an admin user before deleting another
  Hit your start key
  Hit C for control panel
  Hit right arrow to administrative Tools and enter to open(you have 2 main
  panes open now)
  Right arrow to computer management and enter to open
  Hit L to jump to Local users and groups and right arrow to open options
  Down arrow to users--you need to jump to the other pane where your options
  are for users so hit f6
  Down arrow to the user you do not want
  Hit your applications key and go to delete--once you hit that, it will
  delete that user
