Hidden Admin Acount

Hi Guys
If you enable the hidden administrator account In Vista , How can you
disable it ?
I enabeled it just to check it out and see what it does compared to my
regular Admin. account.
How do I disable it back to the hidden state.
Thanks

Hi Carl, to disable the account do the following:

1. Click Start, type lusrmgr.msc in the search box, and then press ENTER.
2. Double-click Users.
3. Double-click Administrator, select the Account is disabled checkbox, and then click OK.

Hi Charlene,
I guess I should have mentioned which Vista I am running.
Home Premium is what I am using , and when I try your suggestion it says this snapin doesn't work with this version of windows.
There are no options in control panel to do anything to disable.
Anymore suggestions I can try.
Thanks
