the hidden administrator account

muz1234 · Feb 2, 2010

Hi, I was just wondering when you have the hidden administrator account in your computer, and you're using another one, cause that's what I seen everyone's is using. It's like this, when you're using another admin account for everyday usage, and you're login into the admin account, and after you use the admin account and go back to your own account, do you delete the file that have been used like from C:\Users\Administrator, you can delete it from control panel> User Accounts> Configure advanced user profile properties > delete the hidden admin file, or just keep it inside your computer for future login purposes?

When you are done, just hide it again. I will get you the tutorial for that scenario.

That account is for emergencies. Leave it alone unless you are having problems. When done hide it away and forget about it.

There is no right and wrong, I give my opinion as others will. You make the choice that is best for you. You are part of the Forum family, we just want you to be happy. All you have to do is what is stated in the Tutorial.
