P is for personal
Okay, I'm refering to a laptop here but the meaning is the same, PC, Personal Computer, as in, this is my one, and you have your own. There's only my daughter and myself in the house, we both have our own laptop. I'm the only one who uses mine, and likewise for my daughter. So my question is, is there a way to get rid of all the "Default" and "Public" and "Guest" and "Uncle Tom Cobbley" stuff?

Are you refering to the accounts??? if so,... just go into your control panel and dig through the list of user accounts... first... you should make a new account and make it an admin.... then after doing that deleting all of the other accounts other than the new account... if your not talking about this... I wish for you to clarify...

You should ALWAYS have at least 2 accounts that you have made on each machine. The first it the one that you always use. The second is one that you use only when for some unknown reason your prime account does not work. It is just like having a back door to your house.
I support many client's and their machines, I have a back door on everyone (or I do not support them). I can not count the number of times I have had to use this back door, it has saved me many hours of work and a lot data for the clients.
