Deleting a User Account JR5280 12/23/2008 6:06:06 PM Is it possible to delete the Guest Account? As the Administrator I go to the control panel and open user accounts. When I open the limited user account it has an option for "delete this account". When I open the guest user account it does not have a delete option. I can only turn it off or on. Also, the Guest Account contains many of my (administrator) desktop icons like itunes and photo albums that I would not want a guest to have access to.

The common desktop icons are stored in the "All Users" desktop folder. When you installed your software you, or the default setup option selected to make it available to all users and it placed the icons in the All Users Desktop folder, you can create the shorcuts on your desktop only and remove the ones in the All Users folder.
