Getting rid of user profiles

I no longer need two user profiles on my laptop and would like to stop having to serach through two desktops, two my docs, etc with the real ones buried deep in the windows folder

How do I do this?

I was able to delete my old profile, but seem to have replaced it with a new one called "default" I have checked all users use the same settings, but that doesn't seem to be the answer.

I can't delete default -- it says it is a system folder. Could I move it somewhere out of the Windows>profiles floder???

Thanks.

 

Try this: Rename all *.pwl files to *.pwX and reboot

When Windows asks for a username type in "username" but leave the password box blank. When asked to retype it leave it blank again.
Then reboot. When the password box comes up, click OK to get into windows..This step eliminates all old password files and gives you a blank password.

Next, go to Passwords in Control Panel, and on the User
Profiles tab, select the first option, 'all users use the same
preferences...'

Then without rebooting, go to Network in Control
panel, and in the Configuration tab, change the Primary Network Logon from Client for Microsoft Networks to Windows Logon. Then restart and the Welcome to Windows box should be gone.
