Question about "Administrator"

[Knack]

WinXPH SP1

I noticed in CP > Users that although there are users that have
administrator privileges, there is no user named "Administrator" like is
found in WinNT4's User Manager utility.

1) Can a user create the username "Administrator" if he logs on as a user
with administrative privileges?

However, I see in C:\Documents and Settings that there are 4 folders named
as follows:

Administrator
Administrator.ZYQUIP3
Administrator.ZYQUIP3.000
Administrator.ZYQUIP3.001

These folders are inaccessable, and cannot be deleted by any user with
administrative privileges.

Note that this computer was named ZYQUIP3 in a workgroup.

2) Is the first folder in the above list a standard one found in all virgin
WinXPH installations? Can any/all of the above folders be deleted somehow,
perhaps via editing of the registry?

the built-in Administrator account is hidden by default. To access it, boot
in Safe Mode. (F8 at bootup)
