Back Up the User's Files and Delete the Account

• 1). Log into the computer as an administrator, not as the user whose account you want to restore.
  
  
• 2). Back up the files in the user's "Favorites" folder (located under C:\Documents and Settings\username) by copying the folder onto your desktop.
  
  
• 3). Click the "Start" button and choose "Control Panel."
  
  
• 4). Click "User Accounts" and choose "Change an account."
  
  
• 5). Click the user account you want to restore and choose "Delete the account."
  
  
• 6). Windows asks if you'd like to keep the user's files in a folder labeled with the user's name on your desktop. Click "Keep Files" to keep the files. Be sure you choose this option, or the user's files will be deleted.
  
  
• 7). Click "Delete Account."
  
  

Create a New Account

• 1). In the "User Accounts" window, click "Create a new account."
  
  
• 2). Fill in the appropriate user information and click "Create Account."
  
  
• 3). Log out of Windows and log back in as the new user. This creates the user's "My Documents" and "Favorites" folders.
  
  
• 4). Log out of Windows again and log in with the user account you used to delete the old account.
  
  
• 5). Move the old user's files that are stored on your desktop into the new user's "My Documents" and "Favorites" folders. The new folders are located under C:\Documents and Settings\new username.
