ADMIN and USER profiles

GIBURROWS · 3 Jun 2011 at 06:44

I have 2 profiles at start up and it always asks at windows which windows 7 I want to runso is there anyway to delete the Administrator profile as I'm sure it will be taking up some valuable space on my SSD drive, it was my first build so I am relatively new to this.

Thanks in advance

Have you got 2 copies of Windows 7 installed then?

I dont thinkso, I only have one product key

Do you mean where it asks you to select user? You should be able to go into control panel>user accounts>then add or remove user

I will try that but I want to remove the Administrator account and have the account I have been using as the main one.

You cant delete the administrator account, only disable it so it doesnt show on the logon screen.

Right click my computer>Manage>Local Users and groups>Users

right click administrator and goto properties

tick disable account.

hey presto!

Cheers Buddy, Does the Admin account take up much space?
