I have Vista Home Premium and my son put a guest user on without my knowledge and now I want to remove it and as much as I try this doesnt work. I haved tried all the googling but when I get to the screen that you click to delete that option is not there. All I have is turn on or off or change password for guest user. It means that everytime I leave my laptop for a extended period of time I have to type my password in (a pain) again as I am the administrator. Can anyone help?

Hello Kiwibabs, and welcome to Vista Forums.
From within your administrator account you can only turn off the Guest account, then delete the C:\Users\Guest folder to wipe it out for now unless turned on again.
If you still have to enter your password afterwards, then check to make sure that the On resume, display logon screen option is unchecked in the screen saver settings. Also check to make sure that you do not have password protection on wakeup enabled.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
