computer help... creating/deleting 'users'?
my uncle got 3 comps from his employer and gave me one. i'm using it as an extra comp in the house. whenever i go to do anything like change the stuff in startup it's under 'joesph'. there's also one for 'all users'. is it possible to get rid of his? sorry if this doesn't make sense, i'm a computer retard.
control panel, user accounts should have all the stuff you need to make it the way you want

The built-in Administrator and Guest accounts cannot be deleted.
yep, probably the built in admin account.
Just rename it.
yep, probably the built in admin account.
Just rename it. yeah. i think that's what it is. it will not let me rename it either.
what is the exact message it says when you attempt to remove it?
it says something like it's a system tool and windows will be effected if it is deleted.
is there a way to change who the comp is registered to?
are you familiar with the registry?
no.
nevermind, heres what you do, forget about the all users account. next go into user accounts and change the name of 'joesph' to bdiesel or whatever you want.
when i go to Computer Management > System Tools there is no account user option or local user groups... there's device manage, event viewer, and shared folders.
it's under the c drive and shared folder where i find the users i said above.
i did a search for user, account user, and local user and came up with nothing but the 'all users' folder in the c drive and in shared folders.
everyone has that i would NOT suggest deleating the "all users" folder
right. but i want the name 'joseph' of fof ever god damned page i pull up. lol. it's annoying.
without being familiar with advanced registry editing i cant help you
