I don't think you are looking in the right place. Go to Control Panel, User Accounts for the actual list of accounts. It sounds like you are looking at the list of folders in Explorer, not actual user accts.
I was checking user accounts on my computer and find that I have six of them.
1) Administrator
2) Administrator.D(a six digit number follows)
3) All Users
4) Default User
5) Owner
6) 'my first name'
My question is are all these necessary? Why are there two administrator accounts? ty
delta_7000 . . . i had posted identical issue regardin' your topic about two weeks ago . . . still have not come up with resolution in the matter. if you wish to view my post and member follow-ups . . . the link is : click here

just out of curiosity . . .
do you also have multiple administrator directories within windows_explorer ?
I'll tell you another strange issue which I have been aware of since installing SP2. It may have been present before but I never noticed it. I'm the only one that has ever used this 8250. When I go into control panel, clicking on user accounts generates 'failure audit' under security in the event viewer. I am not restricted in any way and can do anything an administrator can do. I would never have known this if I had not checked the event viewer. I posted about this before but no one had a real answer. By the way there are just two accounts listed, ' myname' as computer administrator and a guest account which is not active.

failure_audit within event_viewer . . .
i routinely get slapped with that . . . usually once a day . . .
but . . . the connection goes through the next time around.
although this
is somethin' to recognize . . .
i consider it as a simple internal glitch . . .
since the error message doesn't solicit any suspicions.
