How to "Reset" Windows XP

[jessieqwert]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to reset Windows XP so that all user names are erased and the intro movie plays when you turn it on.

Obviously, a reformat and a fresh install would work but I'd like to avoid that for this situation.

Maybe a change in the registry I'm guessing?

Thanks!

you can use addusers.exe from the win2k/winxp resource kit to remove all users from the command line

Thanks for the suggestions.

It looks as though the resource kit is something one has to buy.

Thanks tad that will be useful for other problems.

i'm sure if you google you can find addusers.exe
