How can I remove hidden user
Have an Aspire one that came with Win 7. Listened to MS and don't the 'Upgrade' to win 10. Living with a persistent problem of a user 'Jeffrey', it was on the PC before we got it.
When I turn on the PC Jeffrey appears as an initial user, but we do not have the password so I have to select a second user.
Have worked to try to disable or remove Jeffrey but the command net user does not show a user with this name.
I have traced down in the registry under Winlogon this user, but still have no way to delete this user.
Even did a reset of the computer, but that does not remove this hidden user.
I really want to clean win it 10 OS thus created a USB startup key. but I'm hesitant to try a new installation that I read of others having problems with an installation clean attempt to win 10, but lose the key or having activation problems.
I don't want to really not just delete the Winlogon key as I don't know what else needs this info.
Jeffrey seems to be related to the field PC Acer so think Jeffrey is something that acer is responsible.
How do I remove Jeffrey so I don't have to click before him whenever I start the PC?
Write it down OR user aCER pc GOLD jEFFREY introduce yourself WHEN I RUN COMMAND NET so normal USER commands will nto work.
I gave up and installed the USB clean

You may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the default settings. I recommend you contact your PC vendor for this.

I want my user name appears when I start typing, so I don't have to type it every time. But I typed in my password error before that the username has been entered, and now a username with my password appears in the list when I enter the first letter. How can I delete this entry without removing the history of usernames?
See:
-
For example, one of my bank sites, there is a window to type the user name. When I have not given attention, I didn't know that I had not touched the button tab and then type the password. Now the name of username/password combo appears in the list in the window and I can't get rid of it. On my laptop, it's Windows 7 + Firefox browser and the bad combo is easily removed. On the desktop, I use Apple MiniMac with the Firefox browser, but deletion does not work. Use the Safari browser to the deletion? I've never use, prefer Firefox. Thank you

How can I remove one user other than the variable interface variable?
Hello
I'm currently treat a variable inside a Captivate 9 file corrupted. This variable is not used in the project. When I try to publish the project, I receive an error message indicating "Failure of compiling Swf". The variable name is "COUNT_INT_NEG". When I try to delete this unused variable, Captivate crashes every time. I can't even change the initial value without failure to Captivate.
I'm looking for a method that is diverted to the removal of this variable.
I found the answer to the problem of why some user variables caused my file to crash. It was not the name of the variable, it is the entrance to description. Soemhow, when the text for the variable description has been copied and pasted from a spreadhseet, some characters in the description were biased. Once I deleted the description, I was able to delete the variable.
Problem solved.
Thank you all!

How can I remove the 'remember' user names and passwords to sell a computer?
I'm selling the computer and want to 'clean up', the removal of personal accounts, the user id and passwords that are "saved" on the system. How can I remove them?
The best thing to do would be to completely erase the hard drive by using a "safe remove" utility like Darik Boot and Nuke. If you wanted to be generous, you can then re-install Windows XP and include the installation CD with the computer.
Most paranoid individuals pleading to remove the hard drive completely, the computer without a hard drive, selling and maintaining or physically destroy the disk hard as you wish.
If you do not have Windows XP's installation CD, and you insist on the sale of the computer with an operating system, the best thing would be to use the system of the manufacturer of the computer to restore the computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State. Usually, this is done by using a hidden partition on the hard drive.
There are 'file shredder' applications available (you can search for them), but the problem with the deletion of files and folders individual - even if the removal is made with a tool that prevents the recovery data reasonably - is that you never know if you managed to root out all your personal information. In particular, you probably will not be able to assume that the registry of Windows was completely "sanitized."

How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.
1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal
▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell
If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.
2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.
Back up all data.
Select
New Shell command ▹
in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked
Run the command inside a shell
If it is enabled.
Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:
/bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files
Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:
/bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files
History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".
Close the window and open a new test.
You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.

How can I remove an earlier version of windows after installing Windows 7?
I had Vista installed when I bought the computer, but when I installed my free copy of Windows 7 upgrade it have not migrated user to the new operating system files, and the old files are still there. How can I remove the old files without damaging the currently installed version? Is there a place I can have the whole system analyzed to see which files should be deleted and those who must be kept?
The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
(1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
(2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.If you don't need either of these two options can delete the Windows.old folder.
Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
In the "Folder Options" window
Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
Now click 'show files and folders '.
Then, disable the following:
"Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
"Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
"Hide protected operating system files"Click on the "Apply" button and the OK"" button.
