Can someone tell me the difference between "Administrator" and "Default" .
Are they the same. I know I am the default account on this computer but am I
also the administrator? What is the difference? Thanks (Running

Administrator is an user account that is for troubleshooting purposes.
It is created when you install Windows XP.
Default is not an user, but a template which is used for creating new
profiles.
