Go Start/Control Panel/User Account and change/remove accounts.
Two things.

Firstly, VERY IMPORTANT, make sure you dont delete the adminsistrator user (not sure if XP lets you).

A user can either be an administrator or a limited user. If you delete the adminsitrator but keep only a limited user then you wont be able to install any programs, and you cant make your self an administrator if you are a limited user so you may have to reintall Windows.

Also, if you delete a user all their personal files will be deleted also. Make sure you you rescue any personal files from My Documents before deleting the user.
