migrating default Administrator profile to first user

[Kevin Nolan]

After installing XP I run under the default Administrator
account for some time. Now that I've created the first
user, I can no longer log in under Administator. So, I
would either like to delete all users so that I can
access the Admin profile, or migrate the Admin profile to
the first user. How is this done?

Hi Kevin,

To access the Admin account from the logon screen, just hit =
ctrl+alt+delete twice.

--=20
Best of Luck,

Boot into safe mode and then Administrator will be visible again to
login. XP 'hides' administrator if you create a new user.

You can copy the Admin profile via System control panel, Advanced,
User Profiles, Settings.
Select Administrator from the list, click Copy To and select
c:\documents and settings\<username> for destination.
