Vista - User Accounts Don't Populate To Remove

permalink · 11-09-2007

I had set up an account for my roommates at the time for them to use when
they used my computer. Now that I am trying to remove the account, when I go
to User Accounts >> Manage Accounts, NO accounts populate the list.

There are currently 2 user accounts, mine, the administrator, with full
access and no blocks, then the Roommate's account, which has parental
controls on it. Neither account shows up on the "Choose the Account you would
like to change," list.

Hi Akasha,

Check to see if the user accounts you want to delete have been hidden. This tutorial will show you how. Just look at step 11 to see if the user accounts are listed. If they are, just unhide them.

User Account - Hide
