I making unattend instalation disk with WinXp Pro
I don't need other users except Administrator.
Is it possible?
If YES then HOW...
 
You DO need to create another user account.
You should *never* run as the hidden Administrator account during regular
use for security reasons.

No, you won' t gain any security. Every first additional user on a XP
system will automatically have administrator permissions.

That' s just stupid Microsoft logic.
 
You need a visible account with administrator privileges to perform routine
admin functions. This account should be properly secured and used only for
admin. You should also have an account with limited privileges for everyday
use.

You should NEVER run as the hidden Administrator for normal use--this is the
equivalent of running as root in Linux.

Isn' t that what the account "Administrator" is for? If not, what is
"Administrator"' s purpose (Especially when using Home Edition)?
This account should be properly secured and used only for
admin.

Does Microsoft tell the user to do so? If yes, tell me where, please. I
can' t find it in the create user panel, nor at the Windows Welcome page.

Same as above.

I can' t see the difference. I even can DELETE the "Administrator" user
when logged in as the "visible account with administrator privileges"
like you call it...
