Some User Profile Questions

The Owner will always be owner. It doesn't matter to name
it anything you want. As for an administrator account, I
just created an extra Administrator profile so that I can
make my owner profile a limited account until I need to
perform administrator duties then I just make the owner
account an Administrator again and back to limited again.
Saves transfering a lot of files. You always have to have
an active Administrator Account, but it doesn't really
have to do anything. This should be about as clear as mud.
