Login Account cannot be delete

Hi all,

I have a PC (using XP professional) with mutliple Login account.  when I tried to delete a specify account ( limited account) from the PC I can't as it always hang  but when I delete another account (limited account) I can .

Beside going to the control panel > user account to remove, is there any other method? And what might have causes the problem?


Thanks!

are you using  fast user switching? users must be fully logged out of their accounts before deletion, and only users logged in with admin priviliges can execute this.

I haven't run into your particular problem, but  another place where you can delete or modify user accounts is the Computer Management control panel. Right-click on My Computer, and choose Manage. Under System Tools>Local Users and Groups>Users, you will see the list of user accounts and can select and delete the account from there. Hopefully this will do the trick for you.
