View Full Version : Admin ghost lynchknot October 5th, 2004, 18:59 PM Hello, just want to ask if this is normal and, if not, should I delete the admin and default user that seems to be not in use? Thanks http://img8.exs.cx/img8/3999/admins2.jpg stuart October 5th, 2004, 20:50 PM i deleted the admin account once and then found out that i couldnt log in at all. my favorite quote has to be......... if it aint broke, dont fix it. :) keege October 6th, 2004, 00:31 AM Never delete the Administrator...many of your services rely on it to login and run..the default user is necessary...it is the template that all user accounts are designed on when they are created lynchknot October 6th, 2004, 00:42 AM erm.. there are 2 admin folders. one with the computer's name and one that has not been used since may 19 2004 keege October 6th, 2004, 02:22 AM Hmmm did you possibly do a reload of your os at that time. If you did without formatting the old admin will be renamed to administrator.{machine name} so windows doesn't get confused. lynchknot October 6th, 2004, 02:32 AM I don't recall but the "administrator.{machine name}" seems to be the active one. Is it safe to delete the other and default user? stuart October 8th, 2004, 03:52 AM thats what i had there was 2 admin accounts i upgraded from 98 to xp i deleted the wrong one :confused: :eek: :eek: :(
