If someone could help me with this I would be forever grateful! How can you
get into windows 2000 (stand alone) after you have deleted all of the users
that were loaded including the administrator. There used to be two users set
up on the PC, but we no longer needed them. I just wanted the PC to go back
to opening straight into windows with no prompting for a username or
password. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As far as I know it isn't possible to delete the built-in Administrator
account. Probably you changed the password to it or you disabled it.
This might help: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

You are right, the built-in administrator cannot be deleted.
If poster can recall what it may have been renamed to, or
can log in with any account, and at cmd prompt issue
net localgroup administrators
and can remember the password, they may be able to
avoid the use of ntpasswd

John...thanks for the reply. We are using 2000 (ME) not NT. Do the user
groups work the same in both?

Windows 2000 (ME)? Don't confuse Windows Millennium Edition (ME) with
Windows 2000! The two are like night and day! Windows NT, Windows 2000
and Windows XP are all in the same family (NT family) and more or less
they all have the same user and user group structure. For all intents
and purposes as far as the matter at hand is concerned these operating
systems are the same.
