My HTPC only had one user: me, which was also classified as the Administrator. All of a sudden it added another user automatically, which is named : Administrator.

It now has 1/2 of my icons on the desktop, and to switch to my "real" desktop, I have to switch users everyday. How do I get rid of the extra user ???

Sorry- I think I have disabled it in "MyComputer" , Actions, User Accounts.

I still don't know how this account was created.

Thanks anyway

It's not an "extra" account, every XP installation has this account, but it is usually hidden on the user login/switch screen. The TweakUI utility from Microsoft has a "Logon" section that allows you to easily hide/show various user accounts.
