Can I delete all the profiles on an old machine at once? If so how?
I have an older machine with about 20 profiles on it and it takes to long to
delete them one at a time.
I'm using XP Pro.
Thanks

How are you deleting the profiles? Are you doing it from the User
Accounts tool?

User Profile Deletion Utility (Delprof.exe)

Use with care!

John. I right click my computer, go to properties then click on the advanced
tab, I then click on user profiles (I know to download the uphclean-setup.msi
if the delete button is not highlighted). This is ok to delete one profile at
a time but I would like to delete them all at once.
Thanks for your help.

As far as I know you cannot delete user accounts with uphclean. To
delete multiple in one operation use the Delprof utility.
