Solved I can't delete a user account

A long time ago, I found a solution from something I disliked about Vista. I don't remember what I disliked, but I remember the solution involved creating an admin account to change a setting. I don't remember what I changed either. So that account sits there, unused, and I've decided to remove it.

The problem is that I don't know how. In account management, for that account, there is no "delete the account" or "change account type" options. Does anyone know why this is?

I've been searching for information on this. Apparently Vista has a hidden admin account which can be made visible, if I understand correctly. I might have done this instead of creating a new one. I simply don't remember.

The admin account is now gone. Thanks.

edit: I'd change the status of this thread to resolved, but I can't find the option now. Most forums allow it by editing the first post.
