hey guys, I just purchased an ex-LAN pc from an internet cafe, and it was still setup for the lan network etc. (It's running WinXP Pro.) ...So I Removed the users etc. except for WinXp's defualt admin account (and the guest) which I was logged on as at the time. I didn't know at that time that it was not possible to remove the admin because it was preset one so i thought i would delete admin and run it as a whole like win98 (was still getting to gripps with winXP, never used it b4 and therefore didn't know this couldn't b done). So, i created another admin account and found out i couldn't delete the first one because it is a winzp preset account, as is the guest. Before i created a different admin account to try and remove it though, I had already deleted the profile files from it (C:\documents and settings\administrator\(deleted the contents, not the folder itself)). I am now in a situation therefore where I cannot login to the original admin account because I have deleted those files, I cannot remove it because it is preset and I cannot copy new files to it because access is denied. Also i tried using admin tools and it's none the better. Thx 4 ne replies
