Hi
I incorrectly set up the PC, in that I used the default Admin account to
install apps, printers, network, data & Favorites etc and failed to create a
User Account, even if that had admin priveledges
What is the best way forward? Create a user account and copy data,
Favorites?

So the advice to keep a seperate Admin account, even if you create a user
account with admin rights has changed since win2k/xp?
