Re: User setup




Papa Jonah Wrote:
I recently had to reformat and reinstall my windows.
When I did, I had to recreate the user profiles for my wife and I.
Before
it would let me, I had to create another (I set one up during the XP
install
process) administrator account. Now, some how, when I look under
documents
and settings I see a user for my wife, one for Papa, and one for
Papa_2.
However, when booting up, I only see Administrator, wife, and Papa
accounts
to sign into. The same when I go into the control panel.
1) I would like to delete the extra Papa account that shows up under
Documents and settings, and
2) be able to copy back from my external harddrive the favorites and
such
that I have saved to the new accounts in documetns and settings. It
will let
me do that for my wife, but not for me.

Please help and TIA.
Papa
Log in as Administrator, open the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
Check the access rights on Papa_2 (I suspect this account has
administrator rights, therefore limited users do not have rights to
delete or edit the account in any way). Only an Administrator can
delete it or change it. Hope this helps.
