Hello,

are they both administrative accounts? Try changing the account status of
your wife's account and see if anything will change.

Hi Johnalesie,

You might try creating your wife a new account from within your
Administrator account and delete her's after you transfer her personal
user file's contents to the new account. See:

Hi,

You can try possibly restarting your computer in safe mode, and creating a
new user account from there. Before windows boots, hit F8 and select "Safe
Mode" from the boot menu. Log in as an administrator, and create a new user
account. I hope this helps, and good luck.
