Default Remove administrator from presidents WindowsXP machine

The president of my company has decided he does not want
the administrator restrictions on his PC. I have
assigned him administrative rights, but how do I remove
the administrator profile? All existing programs and
files need to be assigned to his profile

Default Re: Remove administrator from presidents WindowsXP machine

Greetings --

To remove the built-in WinXP Administrator account, simply format
the hard drive and install a different operating system. IOW, the
Administrator account is non-removable.
