I have two administrator accounts on my pc running windows XP. One was carried over from the previous version of windows (2000 NT I believe), this account is called Administrator. Originally I created ANOTHER account with administrator rights, but now I use the old one, Administrator. I want to delete the account I created, b/c It is not in use. However, it will not let me, saying that it is my only Administrator account, which is false, obviously it does not recognize something. Help would be fabulous. THanks!
 
There is a setting in Local Policy that allows you to Rename the default
Administrator to something else - but i think that until you do that it
always wants one defined as Administrator.

You need to go to user accounts in Control panel and change the Administrator settings to Limited user or delete user.
