    start - control panel - user accounts - "pick an account to change" - select Ray and go "delete this account"

    sam,
    you can't delete the administrator account,but you can change the name for it as long as you know the password for the account if it has one.

    i believe you can delete the admin account as log as the new account you created for yourself is a admin acct

    ID10Teror,
    No,you can't delete the administrator account unless there are 2 administrator accounts set up on the computer which I think in angie30's
    case there is only one administrator account on her computer.If the account has a password and she doesn't know it,then she can't delete the account.So we're both right!!

    You can delete admin by going into setup but I forgot how it works. I'll look through my files but it would be quicker if someone knows what I'm talking about. I do remember it was easy.
