Default User Accounts

I have TWO user accounts, both "computer administrator"
type. Under "change my account type," is indicated that
we can DELETE it. We want to delete one of them. But
can't figure out how to do it. Nothing seems to permit
us to delete the user account. Does anyone know
specifically how to do this??

If you have XP Home Edition, it's problematic to the point of not being
worth the effort. If you have XP Pro, some of it can be done through the
Group Policy Editor. Please check the following Knowledge Base Article for
instructions and an overview:

I have several user accounts on my pc of which I have ADMINISTRATOR status
and the rest of the family has LIMITED status. Anyone who has LIMITED
status cannot access some of the programs/applications. It comes up with
error messages such as 'access denied' or 'you require administrator status
to access this program'. How can I enable the limited users to access these
progams/applications without changing their status.
