ok, now that I have XP MCE OEM installed, I started out with just "administrator"
which was a superuser/root/administrator account, right. So I wanted to create a
user account for daily use. I went to do that, and it required me to make another
root account first, so I made one called "root" that was an "administrator". Then
I created one called "brian" which was a "limited user". Question is, where did "administrator"
go? If I log in under "root" and go to the User Accounts manager, I see only "root"
and "brian", where is that original "administrator"? Did it get deleted? I certainly
did not intentionally delete it. It is a concern because if I can't access it, I
can't change the password periodically which in theory could be a security hole if
a hacker gains access to the PC. Let me know your thoughts, guys...
