Greetings.... your suggestion leads me to a curious question. I assume that the "Administator" has full rights to the system and this name (Administrator) is part of every WinXP system and can't be changed. I also assume that individuals can be given full administrator rights or more limited rights.

The "Administrator" user account can be renamed. Don't know if that's what you meant by "can't be changed" though.


My question is this: can "Mike User" with full administrator rights limit the Administrator account in any way - for example, change passwords, delete the account, etc.? If this is possible, then it would be very important that all non-Administrator users have limited accounts.

Any user account with administrator rights can change the Administrator account password. I have never tried to delete the Administrator account however, so don't know about that.
