Resolved Deleting profile in XP

Hi Paul. If you want to optimize and speed up your computer without removing your current profile then I can provide you with instructions with how to do this.

If you would prefer to just delete your current profile and create a new one then we can start with that first.

Also just removing and creating a new profile will help boost your computers performance in the short run but in the long run your computers performance could still degrade over time especially since your are still keeping the same programs installed and not actually uninstalling anything apart from creating a new user.

Lets get started with removing your old profile:

1. Log on as the Temp user that you had already created. On the Temp user account make sure the account has administrative privledges.
2. On the Temp user account click Start< Control Panel< User Accounts< User Accounts.
3. Click on the Paul account which is the one you want to remove.
4. Click on Delete Account.
5. When asked whether or not you want to keep or delete the files that are associated with the account click on the Remove Files button.
6. Finally click on the Remove Account button.
7. Reboot the PC.
8. After the PC has been rebooted log on as the Temp account.
9. Create a new account named Paul which I assume would be the name of the new account.
10. Log off of the Temp account.
11. Log on as the new Paul account.
12. Once your new settings are loaded for the new account follow the same instructions to delete the Temp account from your PC.

Note: Before you start removing user accounts make sure you backup your personal files on your PC in case something goes wrong. Especially since when you remove the old Paul account all of your personal files such as your documents will be erased so back them up.

Let me know if you run into any difficulties.

 

Your Welcome. So is this issue resolved?
