Can any one tell me how I can get rid of user accounts on XP. All I want is on boot up to go straight to windows without having to log in every time.

Go to start, control panel, user account and delete all but one admininstrator account.And i think it will boot straight as long as you have xp home. Bear in mind that deleting user accounts deletes each users documents,apps etc.. back up what you need first.. all docs are stored in c:/documents and settings/username/my documents.

The first option should work.
If you want to delete user account, open control panel, user accounts.
