  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
