on 5/25/2009 With all respect, I cant belive this blog. Anybody that can read just needs to follow windows step instructions. The POSTED question was how to remove a PROFILE, not a user. The exact list of profiles are under "Programs and Settings".Sometimes the list of profiles get large,even you only have yourself listed under users. If you just delete an unused profile, your system will realy scramble. If you just ignore them they eventualy will cause other problems.
