Disable+a+user+account

Do you have a user account set up on your XP computer that needs to be disabled? You don't want that account to be usable, but you don't want to remove it because the user will be back eventually. Luckily it's easy to disable (and then re-enable) a user account in XP: When you want to re-enable the account, just follow the same procedure and uncheck the box.
 * Disable a user account**
 * 1) Right-click the **My Computer** icon and click **Manage**, or open the Computer Management console from the Administrative Tools menu
 * 2) In the left pane, click **System Tools | Local Users and Groups | Users**
 * 3) In the right pane, right-click the account you want to disable
 * 4) Click **Properties**
 * 5) Click the **Account is disabled** checkbox
