ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNTS

I have been having some problems with different things
and a well meaning friend said she could fix it!!!!
She has now left me with 2 administrator (user accounts)
in my name and I would like to get rid of one of the
displays associated with it???
Haven't a clue where to start and don't want to ask
the 'FRIEND' again!!!
Can anyone help?

Go to User Accounts in Control Panel and delete the extra user account.

How is it thta If I'm administrator and create another co
worker of mine administrator that she will beable to
change anything of mine if she wanted too. How is there
a way for you to set my co worker to have administrator
rights but just not access to my profile?

NTFS has to be used before any restrictions can be put in place. Even then,
administrators can access any files on the computer. They may have to
take extra steps to do so but access is within their reach.

If you do not want your co worker to access your files, she should not be
in the administrator group. Or you should use third party tools to lock
your files. Zip files, for example, can usually be protected with a
password. Passwords can be cracked but that's one determined coworker
if they go to those lengths!

Is there another way of becomming the administrator besides through user accounts in control panel?

Aside from creating user accounts during setup, User Accounts in Control
Panel is where it is done.
