Vista - delete user accounts

My computer layout is:

Computer > OS(C > Users >
AppData
Bill (this is me - the sole user on the computer)
Default
Desktop
IUSR_NMPR I don't know what this is
Public
] I don't know anything about this - it screws up operations!

The question is : Can I delete users IUSR_NMPR and ], and how do I do it?

All help would be appreciated!

Bill

What do see when you go to Control Panel / User Accounts? This view should
show all of the user accounts that have been created on the system.

Also, go to Start and type cmd Press Enter to open the command prompt.
In the command prompt,

type: net user and press Enter

Click the icon on the top left of the command prompt window and click Edit /
Select All. Press the Enter key to copy the screen. Paste the results in a
reply to this message.

Bill

I did some research on what you are seeing.

The user "IUSR_NMPR" seems to be associated with a process entitled
mediaserver.exe that uses this account when it is running. This has
something to do with Media Center or possibly the "Intel Viiv" software and
is used to download media content from the internet. This looks legitimate
and this is all I could find.

I find it troubling that the "Bill" user account does not show up when you
run the net user command?

You might try running this command with administrator privileges to see if
it makes a difference.
Go to Start and type cmd.exe In the results, right click cmd.exe and
select the Run As Administrator option.

Type: net user and press Enter.

Next, type net user <account> and press Enter.

Where <account> is the name of one of the accounts that appears in the net
user command results.

Repeat this command for each account that appears, even the "?" account.

Copy the results and paste them back here in a reply.

bill, I have this same problem recently I discovered it when I was doing a recovery. You can restart you computer and tap f8 like you are going to recover or use the start up tool and you will see also this user. I also think it has something to do with intel viiv because I am having trouble reinstalling this driver, a problem with storage space and this is ridiculous since I recovery less than 30%. Imagine that? But that driver has a yield sign in the device manager so you might want to take a look.
