        Whilst I'm here, could I also pick your brains about the admin
    account on XP. I have a few other users on my stand alone machine &
    obviously my account is set up as the admin account, but when I boot
    into safe mode, I'm presented with another account to mine, labelled
    Administrator & with its own password! Why is this hidden admin account
    present & again, are there any security implications in having it?
    Thanks in advance again!
