Hi,

This would indicate you are logged onto the hidden administrator's
account.
To delete the index.dat file you will have to logon to another admin
account and delete it from there.

Hi,

You should create a new administrator account and delete it from
there.
The hidden administrator should not be used for day to day use. It was
intended to be used in emergency's.
Once the new account is created the hidden admin account will be
hidden from the startup screen. You will then have to go to My
Computer and move any needed files over to the new account.
