Is there a way to remove user accounts in XP?

Question

I don't need the user accounts on my computer and don't want to log on or select which user I want to use whenever I turn it on. Is there a way to remove or disable user accounts all together in Windows XP?

Answer 1

Remove the Welcome Screen

If you don't want to use "Fast User Switching", you may want to disable the Welcome Screen. You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this. Note:To do this follow the directions below:

1) Click on Start

2) Click on Control Panel

3) Double-click on User Accounts

4) Click on "Change the way users log on or off"

5) Uncheck "Use the Welcome Screen" (note: this will also disable "Fast User Switching")

6) Click on Apply Options

7) Close the User Accounts window and the Control Panel

8) The next time you reboot your computer, the classic login prompt will be used

What if I don't want the Welcome Screen OR the classic prompt? Can I disable both?

To Login automatically to a user account, follow the instructions below:

1) Click on Run

2) Type in the following command and click OK

control userpasswords2

3) Highlight the user you want to log into automatically, then uncheck the box for

"Users must enter a username and password to use this computer"

4) Click on Apply and you'll be asked to verify the username and password to log in automatically

5) Click OK and the next time you restart your computer, you'll automatically be logged in without having the classic prompt or Welcome Screen.

Yes, there is.  Go into your Control Panel and then into Users.  Remove all the users you wish in there.  Make sure you are left as the administrator.
