Hello,
I have a friend that just got a new computer. Knowing nothing about
accounts he set out to protect the new computer and disable anything he
could from his kid. As administrator he created accounts for his wife and
son then created a new account for himself. When he created a new account
for himself (with administrator privileges) he said Windows told him that
only one administrator account at a time and that the original account would
disappear. Now all the things he hid from his kid under the original
administrator account are also gone for him under the new account. That's
the story I got anyway. I don't mess with account since it's just my wife
and I. Is this story feasible? If so how does he get the original account
back and with it access to whatever he hid??

Thanks!
