| Windows Vista™ Ultimate x64 | Re: admin account problems Short answer - no. You cant remove the built in account. However you can rename it to what you want. If you have an advanced version of vista you can also change the local security policy to elevate without prompting on all admins which will make every admin the same as the built in account. You can hide, rename and change the password and the picture to the account but remove it...no. Sorry |

| Windows Vista™ Ultimate x64 | Re: admin account problems You cannot in any way delete the built in administrator account without having to do some serious hacking. You can disable and hide it to give the illusion its gone but its not. You can use the secpol to make elevation without prompting for all admins which will make it the same as the built in account or just disable UAC. |
