5851.0. "removing profiles..." by SWAM1::SOTO_RU () Wed Mar 26 1997 21:58

    NTW 4.0 creates two accounts and with it twp profiles. One is the
    Administrator and the secondary (backup?) account. 
    
    To make it a short story, I set up the Admin profile the way I wanted
    but I mucked up the secondary one (used Exploder instead of UPEDIT).
    I'd like to totally remove the secondary profile from winnt\profiles
    but it won't let me remove ntuser.dat/txt. Something about a sharing
    violation.
    
    Any ideas what the cause is and how I get around it are welcome.
    
    regards,
    Ruben

5851.1	take ownership as administrator	ALFSS2::CHURCHE_J	Nothing endures but change	`Thu Mar 27 1997 05:48`	5
	If you take ownership of ntuser.dat/txt, set the permissions to allow administrator to delete the files, you can get rid of them.
