Disable Guest Account

Hi, Had visitor here for 2mths and allowed her to use my compt. with Guest Account. now I cannot find anywhere to remove/ delete/disable it. There is not any problem with computer but I do not require this account now. Specs:Win7, IE11, Panda Antivirus, Windows Defender, Windows Firewall. CCleaner, SuperAntispyware, Weekly Maintainance/Cleaning/Updating checking. Thank You. Boneyeye

 

User accounts, manage another account. You should be able to delete it from there

 

Unfortunately there is no facility to disable/remove/delete any account in that folder, but thank you for replying. Now plodr would you please take me step-by-step on how to use cmd prompt as admimistrator, as it is one of the methods I am not at all very familiar with, and thank you for replying. by the way I have an admin account. boneyeye

 

On plodr's behalf, as she doesn't seem to be online atm, type cmd in Start > Search. You should see cmd.exe appear above so right click that and click Run as Administrator. Then type the command plodr gave you. The syntax has to be exact.

This administrator has more power than your Administrator account - confusing innit?

 

Plodr I have now found out how to run cmd prompt as admin but it is the path I am stuck on. tried it a few ways but did not work. Would be grateful if you could illustrate the proper pathway and I will copy it. Thank you again, and I will certainly educate myself on command prompt. Boneyeye.

 

Mamboma ,got it, thank you all so much, As I am an OAP my next learning point is command prompt. It is said in Ireland here "if you do not learn something every day you have not lived". How true it is and true it is to be true. Just Gaelic Lingo. Again, thank you all for replying, Boneyeye.

 

I agree with you both Plodr&Mamboma, I have been using compts since 2000 and now can look after a lot of the security for my friends, as a hobby .Again as is often quoted " there is more than one way of skinning a cat", and I am an animal lover. Thank you all again. Boneyeye.
