The built -in adminstrator account is a security risk by showing in User
Accounts in this way. Have tried hotfix 314412 but it doesn't work with SP2.
(Even uninstalled SP2 and still no joy). Any other ideas please on how to
hide/delete the built-in administrator account in XP Home User Accounts. (SP2
re-installed).
