amongst other little projects i have for work, i am looking at sysprep for XP Home (Pro works ok)

issue we're having is, we build & sysprep the client PC, however, we are unable to delete the account created for preparing the PC, so what happens is:

we create an account called "TEMP", login & do all the updates, install our basic app package (avast free, openoffice, itunes etc), then run sysprep. when we deploy the image & create a new user account "OWNER" for example, when we login, XP Home logs us in as "TEMP"!!

any idea on how to remove all user info in the home edition like you can on pro?? not a problem with Vista or 7, just XP Home (of which a great deal of our customer base still use, cos they dont see point in changing from somert they've used for 10 years dammit!!)

Cheers!!

just create the account owner to begin with when you do your sysprep ?
