If you have only one other account besides the admin, then I'm not sure why you need to do this anyway. Admin doesn't show up on the log in screen without some altering of the system so you'd never notice it's there unless you really wanted to. | Guru Zim

Don't delete your administrator account. | BigDaddyLoco

| #6 Posted on 21.2.06 1820.19 Reposted on: 21.2.13 1820.36 | Basically they both show up on the screen after I start up my computer. They were set up because we thought it'd be handy to have our own access, but we only use one because it's just easier. It's not really a huge deal there just seems like no point to having two of them set up. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
