How do I delete a user account on Windows 7?

Answer

  1. Next. Open the Windows Control Panel, and then click User Accounts and Family Safety.
  2. Back Next. Under User Accounts, click Add or Remove User Accounts.
  3. Back Next. Click the user account that you want to delete.
  4. Back Next. Click the user account that you want to delete.
  5. Back Next.
  6. Back Next.
  7. Back Next.

The first thing you need to do is log into the control panel and click on User Accounts. You will then see a list of users within your computer, including Administrator. Click on Administrator and select Delete the account from the menu that appears, as shown in Figure 1 below:

A second box will pop up prompting you to confirm your choice to delete this user account. Confirm by clicking Yes in the bottom left of the window. The process may take a few minutes depending on how much information is in that specific account’s profile folder (C:\Users\Administrator). Note that this does not remove any files associated with this user, but it simply deletes all information associated with that specific user.

If you want to remove any files associated with that user, there is a different step by step guide I have posted on my blog. There you will see how to delete the entire profile folder of the Administrator account and not just the account itself in order to ensure all traces of this user are permanently gone from your computer.

#4 SELECTING THE OPTIMUM WORD PROCESSOR

I’ve been using Microsoft Word for quite some time (decades actually), but I am certainly no professional writer – so take what follows as advice rather than commandments: That said, here are some tips for choosing a word processor (no particular order): 1)      Don’t use Word Perfect or any other DOS based program. It’s not your father’s DOS anymore, and Linux has better options for handling text than a relic from the late 80s. You might as well use MS-DOS 5 to run Windows 3.0. 2)      Don’t use OpenOffice unless you have no choice (which I hope isn’t true because there are much better solutions listed below). Frankly, Microsoft Office is far more stable and compatible with actual documents produced by it than OpenOffice ever was – even on the same platform. However, if you need to share documents with people who are using either of these word processors, go ahead – but be sure that you save everything in either DOCX or ODT format so that you can open it on your Linux system. 3)      All of the best word processors for Linux are based upon the OpenOffice code base, and they’re all available free-of-charge – so just pick a different default appearance, design template or plug-in set that suits your fancy. 4)      There are four major word processors you should consider: LibreOffice ( which I use because it includes everything contained within OpenOffice while being much quicker to start up ), WPS Office , Kingsoft Office ( formerly known as WPS Office ) and NeoOffice . I will admit that the Kingsoft and Neo versions take longer to load than their alternatives

but both offer additional features unavailable through other options. 5)      Whatever you choose be sure to keep your word processor up-to-date, and don’t get used to a specific version – as long as you know the name of the latest stable release you will do just fine. With that in mind, I’ll list my favorite Linux Options for Word Processors : #1)      LibreOffice Writer   is compatible with Microsoft Office documents (both DOCX and ODT formats), so it’s easy to open files created using any of these programs under Windows:

#3)     Kingsoft Office  is licensed free-of-charge, and includes everything found within WPS Office while also including additional features aimed at small business owners:

Finally there is NeoOffice , which is based upon the OpenOffice code base but also includes additional features and functions (such as a built-in HTML editor) not found in the other options.

*N.B.: This article has been updated to reflect changes made with the latest versions of NeoOffice & Kingsoft Office (formerly known as WPS Office):

#5 SELECTING THE OPTIMUM GRAPHICAL DESIGN APPLICATION

               Despite all the efforts made by open source advocates, nearly everyone is still accustomed to Microsoft Word’s formatting appearance layout when editing for publication purposes. Thankfully there are currently two cross-platform applications that allow us to edit documents created using Microsoft Word: 1)      LibreOffice Writer works fine, but only with DOCX documents, which means that we can’t edit DOC and DOCX files saved under Microsoft Word “Legacy” format. While using LibreOffice for editing may not be perfect, it is the closest thing to Microsoft Word for Linux users that currently exists. If you’re looking for something more…

#4)     There are several high-quality graphical design applications available for Linux – including Inkscape , GIMP , Blender , Krita & Mypaint . This article will focus on my favorite two choices: The GIMP ( version 2.8 ) offers a surprising number of features considering how small its footprint is in comparison with commercial programs like Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter (both mentioned below).

A special thanks goes out to the developers behind GIMP, as they were kind enough to donate a copy of GIMP 2.8 for me to use when writing this article.

#5) THE BEST FLASH PREVIEWER

        If you’re working with SWF files – whether you’re adding them to web pages or creating games using GameMaker Studio ( like myself ) then having a good Flash file previewer is absolutely essential: 1)      For Linux users the best option by far is using SwfVal which will allow you to view your .swf and .fla files in their full glory without needing any additional software installed on your system!

2)    The second-best option is viewing your flash files through an easily accessible web browser.

#6)        The best way to open your SWF files in a separate window is by using the “open with…” function within Flash itself – select your desired file and use this option:

                 This same method can be used by Mac users, although for KDE-based Linux distributions (like Kubuntu ) a quicker way of opening flash files within an external window is also available:

                #7) THE BEST VIDEO PLAYER FOR LINUX

        There are several ways to watch videos on Linux computers: 1)  You can install Windows Media Player , which isn’t necessarily easy to do but it works well enough without any special settings or configurations; 2)        You can also use the VLC Media Player (pictured below), which is more reliable than the first option but still leaves much to be desired; or 3)     The easiest way on Linux is installing SMPlayer ,  which will play pretty much every video file you throw at it without any issues.

#8) THE BEST PICTURE VIEWER FOR LINUX

                   In short, finding a great image viewer for Linux isn’t too difficult as there are several choices – including Gwenview, GQF Viewer and the ImageMagick Command Line . Another popular choice is Okular , which works well with PDF files and other documents that contain embedded images:
