what if my admin account some how gets deleted and all i have left is an
limited one?

when i go to users accounts all that comes up is one account. i have had
serveral accounts on my cpu, in fact there was one for every member in my
family. we have five ppl in are family + 1 guest account. when i went to
install a program into my computer it says to get in touch with the admin
account user. when i went to c if there was one all the accounts have been
deleted execcept for 1. the weird thing is that one is an limited account.

Hi,

Windows will not allow you to delete the last admin account, as you would
have to be an admin in another account and be logged in to delete it. If you
cannot see it, try restarting in Safe mode (WinXP Home) or hitting
ctrl+alt+delete twice at the Welcome screen (WinXP Pro) and typing in
"administrator".
