No Administrator folder in Documents and Settings?

I have a user named "Administrator" or at least if I try to create that
user, Win2K crabs that there is already such a user. Is it safe to just
delete the existing Administrator and re-create it?

You cannot delete the "Administrator" account - Windows
won't let you!

The "Administrator" profile folder gets created only when you
log on as Administrator. If you have never logged on under
this account then the folder won't exist.

What actually is your problem?

Right you are! I am rebuilding my system and I just never actually
logged in as "Administrator". Once I did, the profile appeared as you
predicted. Thanks.
