New User Accounts

[Guest]

I'm still a novice XP user and when I tried to add a new user account it only
allowed me to set it up as an administrator, even though I'm set up as
administrator. So I now have 2 administrator accounts and can't delete either
one as I get an error message which tells me that I must create a new
administrator account before I delete one!
Can anyone help me to delete one account, the new one I created, keep my
account as administrator and then set up a new account that's not got
administrator rights?

This newsgroup is for questions about Microsoft Office. You're more
likely to get a correct response if you post your question in a Windows
XP newsgroup.

I only posted here for help as I was unable to find a Windows XP discussion
group on this site, maybe you can help?

Sorry, I don't know the answer, and apparently no one else who's seen
your message here in the past 12 hours does either. Try
http://communities2.microsoft.com/c...ea5-f833-4bb9-95ef-0a2006cef172&lang=en&cr=US
..

They would be the groups with "WindowsXP" as part of the group name in
place of "office"

Cheers Garfield, that was the exact reply I needed. I've now posted in the
right place so hopefully I'll get sorted.
