Delete Windows user account
Saturday, April 17, 2004 by daddy5 | Discussion: Stardock Software
I have two user accounts on my computer. I want to one but ever time I go to do it the program stops responding. In my event viewer under security it lists every time I do this as a failure audit. I use Tweak UI to autologon to my main account but I don't think that affects it. I just want to this unused (my wife's) account. Any tips?

the board must read the word DELETE as a command to DELETE

Both accounts were administrator accounts. I changed the one that I wanted to DELETE to limited and tried again but still no luck. I click the save files option then account and I got some hard drive activity this time but then I clicked another window while I waited and when I went back I got the Program Not Responding message again. I am not actively running the account. (as far as I can tell)
Weird about the DELETE thing. .

Turn off the auto logon on and un-check the Welcome Screen. Re-boot and sign in using the user name you want to keep and the password. Now Delete the other account.
