Thread: Computer help. How to delete a user?

Long story short.

- I have a laptop im bringing home for my GF to use
- My laptop is old and has my ex wifes name as one of the users to log in
- My gf is a weird jealous wench and will flip if she sees the name. Stupidly ridiculous. But true.



How do I delete my ex's name from the initial log in screen. I have never deleted her name before because I am at work and no one would see nor use my comp anyway. Please help. It will save me a fight.

a) Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety, clicking User Accounts, and then clicking Manage another account. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

b) Click the account you want to delete, and then click Delete the account.

c) Decide if you want to keep or delete the files created under the account by clicking Keep Files or Delete Files.

d) Click Delete Account.

Aha!

OB you are my hero!!! Cant thank you enough.

That answer may vary depending on the version of windows you are using but those steps should lead you to where you need to be and it should be simple once you get there

Control Panel>User Accounts>Manage User Accounts. Then its something like Users>Users for this Computer then click Remove.

I know what its like to be an unwarranted jealous woman :/

I once found a comb in the glove box on my ex's boat and when he wasnt looking I threw it in the lake (I knew it wasnt his because A. he was almost bald and b. it was a pick and his last bitch had curly hair - which also was on the boat, stuck in the carpeting and it would piss me off)

Well since you don't need MY help anymore, here is a smartass response: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+delete+u...count+windows#

lol. women are so weird. I always try to fathom the logic you ladies have sometimes. We all have a past and a reason to make you our future. But hey.....I wont argue. Its something Ill never understand and its just easier to avoid the fight

Thank you shake.


but OB got here first and she has boobs

I was hoping this thread was asking the mods to delete your account.

Hire a hitman.

Feelings are what they are - when I dont get jealous - thats when the man needs to worry because that means I dont care anymore

Now I say I got jealous - it was all internal - I never expressed it verbally (the stuff from his past - if it was something that happened right in front of me then yes, I would express myself)

If the relationship has reached a point where a couple is intimate, you don't want to think of who else your mate has been with or make mental pictures of the two of them together and whether the mate had more pleasure with the other person than with you, etc.

The rational part knows it happened and knows it's over but the emotional part just doesn't want to go there so any reminders, no matter how irrelevant, have the potential to set someone off - man or woman - but especially women. That's why photos of the ex are the first thing to go and why you better zip your lip before making ANY comparisons between the two - even if she comes out better in the comparison. Just don't go there. EVER.

Tell your gf that your ex would sit on your laptop and wiggle your mouse to get your hard drive up.
