Administrator accounts

[Guest]

I recently installed Windows XP Professional on one of our PC's. I have a
problem that seems to be unique to this installation.

Right after installation I found two user accounts - Administrator and
Guest. I like to use the same administrator account name on all of our XP
PC's. So, I set up a second administrator account and gave it the name
"System Administrator." So far so good.

Two Administrator accounts are confusing to the users, so I decided to
remove the standard Administrator account. I have accomplish this on four
other Win XP PC's. I understand that removal of an account with
administrator priviledges has to be done from another account with the same
priviledges. I signed in to my new System Administrator account and tried to
remove the Administrator account from the system. There was no way I could
do it. I then tried to remove the System Administrator account from the
Administrator account. This also proved to be impossible.

I have accomplished this on every other Win XP Pro installations without
difficulty. This time I found no "delete" or "remove" options.

I did set up a restricted user account which works properly.

Is there any way to remove one of these administrator accounts from this
particular PC?

The built in Administratot cannot be deleted and should not be deleted. The
built-in adminitrstor account is by default hidden after you make another
account. The delete option is not available for System Administrator
account because built-in account is not for regular use and thererfore it is
neccessary to keep another account with Admin privileages. But you can
delete your account by :
Click Start > Run
lusrmgr.msc
Users
Right click your account > Delete

The account you removed on the other pcs was most likely not the builtin
administrator account. It's often good practice to rename the true
administrator account and create a "dummy" administrator account with no
permissions. That might be the one you removed.
