| | Unknown Account On Vista Welcome Screen - Can't Delete!!? I have an account on my vista home basic welcome screen which is labelled 'other user', this account is not listed in user accounts in control panel. Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of it? It is not possible to log into the account in question as it asks for username & password. There is also no sub folder in c:\users for 'other user'. |

Open the Run command (Windows Key + R) type in control userpasswords2 If the account is listed there, you should have the option of deleting it from there. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry <trevaaaaaaa@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4147a60d-b9a4-4765-a0b2-b1b60e899a39@xxxxxx Quote: >I have an account on my vista home basic welcome screen which is > labelled 'other user', this account is not listed in user accounts in > control panel.

I am not connected to a domain, yes the account shows up on the welcome screen, but NOT in control panel > user accounts or control userpasswords2. It's annoying me that it is on the welcome screen but I can't get rid of it!! On Dec 16, 4:47 pm, "Andre Da Costa[ActiveWin]" <andre...@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: > Are you connected to a Domain?
