How do can u delete an profile account?

so i just got my t61 XP, and at first it asked me to create a profile for the users , so i created mine and i also created a guest one, but now the guest account has admin rights and i cann't make it a limited account or delete it, so anythoughts on that ?
thanks,

 

go into control panel
user accounts
go to the one you created for yourself
there should be something that says "change your account type"
and then you should be able to change yours to adminstrator

also go back in and do the opposite for the guest one..follow the same steps but change it to standard

hope that works!

 

Thanks i just went through what u told me but mine has already been set to admin, and i went back to the "guest" account but that feature is not showin on the left panel for it. it doesn;t ask me if i wanna change it account type at all.
wierd eh!

 

huh...i'm using vista so i don't quite remember how that works in xp...
you can't delete it either..you should be able to.that is weird..lol

is there anything in there where it says about managing another account?

 

i will get u a screen shot but the wierd thing is that i rescued and recovered the computer and i don;t see microsoft offcie. do u know why?

 

here is a shot of it.

 

By default, the Guest account is there already and it's disabled.

To make changes to the Guest account, make sure you're logged in with another admin account. Once you're logged in, do this:

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management

On the left column, expand "Local users and groups", select "Users", then all the user accounts in your Windows will be listed on the right window.

Now double-click on the Guest account, click on the "Member of" tab, in there you can change the group membership of an account. The Guest account should only be in the "Guest" group, nothing else. If you want to use a "limited account", you should create a new account that's belong to the "Users" group only. When you create a limited account with the other tool in Control Panel, that's the group by default.

 

I will try that in few hours.
Thanks!

 

Hi,
i just tried deletin the account but it gave me this error "it cann;t delete a built-in account"

anythoghts?
thanks,

 

If you cannot delete it, how about just hide it:

Got this with a quick google search, have not tried it

 

ya i could hide it, but i would like to learn how to delete, iam sure someone out there knows how to do it.
thanks anwyays.

 

i am a sysadmin. you cannot delete the guest account. you can only turn if off or "disable" it. no need to do anything further once its disabled. if you want to delete it call redmond and ask for bill. im sure he can help you. in other words, "dont sweat it"

 

ok thanks!

 

Yeah just disable the Guest account.
