If you need to use an Administrator account on a daily basis, then leave the one you created. Keep the built in one for emergencies, in case you can't get in on your profile. However, if you really want to remove it............

For XP PRO: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen, with no users logged in. You'll see the old Win2K style logon. Enter Administrator and any password that's been set for the built in account. You can now delete the account you created from Control Panel, User Accounts.

For XP Home: Boot the computer into Safe Mode (See Help and Support). You'll see the built in Administrator account listed on the Welcome Screen.

I recommend RENAMING the account instead of deleting it; this will also make
it much harder for an intruder to guess the name. BTW, just out of curiosity
what is your motive for trying to delete it?

i have 2 younger sisters who can be... irresponsible. so i gave them their own account (limited of course) so that they wouldnt be able to muck up the computer like last time (we had to get the whole system cleaned out). but whats the point they straight away go on as an administrator

dear sriram to delete the account you created go into the adminstrator account that was already there, go to control panel. Then click on user accounts. Click on the account you created. Then click "delete this account"

does anyone know how to stop xp automatically logging on to the computer using the "Administrator" account? i have 2 younger sisters and i have setup 2 seperate 'limited' accounts, however they turn on the computer and get automatically onto aa administrator account (not good)
