i renamed my original ADMINISTRATOR (referred as 1) account to a name of my choice thru local security policy. but i by mistake also created an account with administrator(2) priviliges. now i don want the newly created account(referred as 2). can i delete (2) since when i log in as administartor(1) i cannot delete the admin level user(2) since it says i need to have an account with admin privilges to delete this account(2). its unneccesarily lying there and my admin (1) is not showing in the log-on screen forcing me to use the classic logon. BTW i have winXP pro
