What are the user names?

Try
Start
Control Panel
Add or remove User Accounts

Double click the mystery account and follow the prompts to remove it.

If it is the "Admin" account do NOT remove it.

Thank U Dave for trying to help me. They both have the same name, but I don't recall creating a second user account. It is like I have a clone> same name and same picture. How would this have happened? I don't know which one is the admin one...

Open Windows Explorer.
What users are listed when you go to C: drive, and then the "Users" folder?

Dave-
Thank U. It has my name but it also has default and some other files:
Default>My name>Local Service>Network Service>Owner>Public>All users (opens word pad or note pad)
Default user (opens word pad or note pad)

I am wondering how I managed to end up w/ two user icons?
