im using vista, and i discovered that the hidden admin account can be renamed, from control userpasswords2, and my question is should it be rename to my username or just leave it Administrator.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/223194-built-administrator-account-change-name.html

and the name can be change from control userpasswords as well but it doesnt change the actual username but just the Full name...

and if i like to use it daily, should the hidden account be named Administrator or my username?

thanks

yes, i can see the link, but the administrator folder which is from c:\users, is still C:\Users\Administrator, i can rename the folder by deleting it and then rename it from control userpasswords2 or if you havent log in to it yet and just activated it, What im trying to say is should the hidden admin account be use as C:\Users\Administrator, or C:\Users\My Username

C:\Users\Administrator and should NOT be used as a normal account it should be hidden Tools, Folder Options,View,Do Not Show Hidden Files And Folders
