Win 8.1_64... I have noticed with every file on my PC that in the
security tab under properties there is an unknown user ("Account Unknown(S-1 -5-21 -5372119434272335595-134997445-1000)" and I cannot remove that account, and it has full access to my PC. Is this a backdoor account or virus? I only know it's a SID of some kind. -- -- Eric

I only know it's a SID of some kind. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...7-c6b9e70792d7 I see "S-1-15-2-1 appears to be a new Well-Known SID which is used by Windows 8 with Windows Store Applications...." Aha, that explains why I don't see it. I did not set up an "Microsoft account", and have not accessed the Store. I don't think I will, either. If the "apps" bundled with Win8 are typical of what MS offers, they're not worth getting. Eric, ignore my paranoid suggestion. But you might want to know how to get at the real admin account anyhow. ;-) Have a good day, I can get to the admin account but that didn't help -- -- Eric
