Another piece of information:

There are actually other accounts assisgned.
Guest- built in for guest users (disabled it yesterday)
Help Assistant- for remote desktop assistant (disabled it yesterday)
Support- Microsoft- vendor's account for help and support (disabled it
yesterday)
Support- Dell- vendor's account for help and support (disabled it yesterday)
I assume the two Support Accounts were created when I bought this PC. I am
pretty sure the Remote Support Account was created when I assisted a friend
using this function years ago. Who knows, but without your help I would have
never known they were there!

Right-click on the My Computer desktop icon, Remote tab, and disable
both Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop.
