Hi. A friend of mine has managed to delete the in built
Administrator account in XP. Before doing this he assigned
himself to the Administrator's group. Will this cause any
immediate problems ? If so, how can this be rectified ?

The well-known Administrator account disappears from the Welcome Screen
when the first user account is created (other than Guest).

You can press Ctl-Alt-Del, Ctl-Alt-Del at the Welcome Screen and logon
to "Administrator" using the logon dialogue box.

Safe mode normally logs on to Administrator.

Administrator cannot be deleted, but it can be renamed with Group Policy.
