The built in administrator account is probably disabled. My experience with
XP Is 95% for XP Pro so I am not sure if the built in administrator account
is disabled automatically or not after you create another administrator
account. The command net localgroups administrators should show you the
membership of the administrators group and the command net user admistrator
will show the status of the administrator account. You could also just use
your new user account that is in the administrators group to run your
application. --- Steve
