Hi All,
I bought a laptop that came pre-installed with XP Home, but to use it for
work I also got Windows XP pro.
When loading the laptop I was asked to give an Administrator password and
then Create a user, (I had no choice in the matter).
I entered the proper Administrator password, but created any user because I
knew I was going to remove XP home from that machine.
Only once this was done was I able to load Windows XP pro, (and while I was
there I also upgraded to SP2).
Everything worked as expected.
But now I have a problem,
First I want to completely remove the user I created, (I have no use for
that account).
And secondly I want "Administrator" to be able to log in.
Simply because I am used to is, on my Desktop, (also with XP pro), I have
"Administrator" and "Guest" whereas on the laptop the user automatically
logs in.
The user created is a member of the Admin group. If I try to switch users
only the user I created is available. Where is Administrator? "Guest" is
also not available.
Many thanks.
Simon
