if you want access to the user accounts in xp, and the standard window from within control panel isn't working, you can do this:\n\n• click the 'start' button\n• click 'run'\n• type: control userpasswords2\n• 'ok' it\n\nin the window which appears you can add/remove users, change passwords and loads of other options.

Delete the value\n\nWindows Explorer Update Build 1142\n\nfrom the following registry keys:\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE &#92; SOFTWARE &#92; Microsoft &#92; Windows &#92; CurrentVersion &#92; Run\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE &#92; SOFTWARE &#92; Microsoft &#92; Windows &#92; CurrentVersion &#92; RunServices

Go to control panel, then user accounts. There should be your name and "guest" There is a .net framework update that puts in some other user, I don't know why, but if you delete that account if it is there, then you should be able to reboot without the name.

DO NOT do what JAN said, that is the improper way to delete things and you can seriously screw up the computer if you do that... Windows uses ADD/REMOVE programs found in CONTROL PANEL to automatically remove stuff for you PROPERLY not harming anything else...\n\n\nYou can easily ERASE everything on your pc by formatting it with a format CD... However you will NEED the dell original disc to reinstall WINDOWS once again, otherwise the computer will be useless without an OPERATING SYSTEM ON IT...\n\nOne easy way to allow this KID to use your pc, is to go INTO WINDOWS, and click START>CONTROL PANEL> USERS and create a NEW USER FOR HIM, and PASSWORD protect your own...\n\nThis way you can have your own files that he CANNOT see or modify, and he can have his own user to do what he wants...\n\nIf you are GIVING THE COMPUTER AWAY< then add him a NEW user, and simply LOG INTO HIS USER< then go back to CONTROL PANEL< and delete your USER... This will make it somewhat like new...\n\nBefore you do all of that though, you need to be in YOUR USER and go to CONTROL PANEL ADD/REMOVE programs, and erase all programs you dont want the kid to have, or figure he wont need... Dont uninstall the updates.

Assuming you are using WIndows XP, click on the Start button, then choose Control Panel, then choose Add or Remove Programs. Find the program you want to uninstall on the list and click on it to remove it.

Try\n"Start - Settings - Control panel - User Accounts - Advanced"\nFirst of all , do you see all of the user acccounts there?\nSelect the first user account then select the ":Advanced" tab.\nMake sure the little box that says "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete"\ndoes have a check in it. Then click "Apply" & "OK". This needs to be checked for EACH user account!\n\nOr, possibly...\nClick Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK. In the dialog box that appears, enable Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box, and then click OK.\n\nIt sounds like someone may have set you up with a Default User name and Password.\n\nIf neither of these helps you, try this...\nClich "Start - Run" and type (or paste) this into the box\n\nrundll32 netplwiz.dll,ClearAutoLogon\n\nThen click O-K.\n\nThere is a way to go into the registry and clear this manually, but I'm telling you right now, you do this at your own risk.\nWhat I tell you will be 100% accurate, but If you make any one single simple mistake, you will be breaking your own computer. Don't blame me!\n\n\nOpen Registry Editor (Start - Run - "regedit" and OK) and navigate to: \n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE &#92; Software &#92; Microsoft &#92; WindowsNT &#92; CurrentVersion &#92; Winlogon\n\nDelete the DefaultPassword entry. \n\nDouble-click AutoAdminLogon, type 0 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.

If you have a WinXP disk\npop it in\npress ENTER to load disc when it asks\nyou can format from the winxp installation\nby selecting a partition and choosing to delete it\nformat as NTSF quick, best choice for today's world - the full format is useless and needlessly LONG\n\nif you don't have a XP disk..you shouldnt't be deleting your computer

If you are using it on another computer of your own, just plug it in as a slave drive and then if using Win XP, just go to My Computer and right click on the drive. Then select format and it will wipe it clean for you. \n\nIf you are just going to install windows on it then just format at windows setup.\n\nIf you are not going to be the user of this computer and want to protect your privacy use a tool from http://www.download.com to do a deep format - one in which data cannot be recovered.\n\nGood Luck
