Answer 2

you can't delete the original Administrator account that is setup on WindowsXP. At best, you can disable it.
If it is a user account you want to delete, make sure you're logged in as a different user that has sufficient rights to delete accounts. Then goto the Control Panel - Users and delete the account you wish to remove.
If you want your computer to go straight to your desktop when starting it, download TweakUI (from Microsoft). There's an option in it that will allow you to do so.
