- Cannot delete 1 user account??
- Posted by shadow11 on September 25th, 2005
Ok here is a problem I have never come up against, my sister has a
2.4ghz P-4 with XP home edition on it. it has been running slow for a
while so I cam eto help her out, anyway's I had a major issue with the
lsass.exe using 75% of the CPU for nothing for about 30 minutes after
login, but I fixed the registry and that went away. Now she had some
other user accounts that were not needed so i deleted them no problem,
however her daughter has her own limited user account and it is some
bit messed up and slow just on her account, so I saved her files and
created her a new account. BUT I cannot delete her account, I get to
where it askes "are you sure you want to delete this account"
and I click delete this account, but it freezes up and does
nothing....
Is there a way I can manually make windows delete this user account?? I
have tried alot in the past 48 hours and nothing I do makes that account
not freeze when I try to delete it.
Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated.
Thanx

Login as administrator
go to control panel, open admin tools, open computer managment, click on
groups and users, click users, right click username and delete.

Ok that was a no go, Her system is running Home edition so it does not
have the feature in the groups and users under computer managment...
and another thing I now noticed is when I am logedd in as Admin, that
acount is not there, but when I log on normally it is.. any thoughts???
She won't let me do a reformat and system restore was turned off so
that is out to!...
