Could there be some confision here between a User Account with Administrator privileges as opposed to a Limited account, and the System Administrator who's icon in XP appears on the Safe Mode logon screen?[/#000ff]

sign in as the remaining administrator (the user that you will keep)
click my computer
click control panel
click administrative tools
click computer management
click local users and groups on the left hand side of the window
double click users folder
right click on the user you want to delete (administrator that you will delete)
Left click on delete
Are you sure you want to delete the user? click Yes
Restart the computer
Once a user has been deleted, creating an identical name will not bring it back, it's permanent.
There must be at least one administrator, an administrator cannot delete their own account.

If you are not sure about this, confused, don't delete the administrator.

You can't delete the hidden Administrator account in Windows XP Home.

Nor should you want to. The default admin account is there in case you screw up your other user profiles. It's a fail safe.

Unless you are booting into safe mode, you won't see that default administrator account anyway.

What "administrative tools folder"?

What "administrative tools folder"?

I'd be quite worried if that addition had been made to my Registry and wiped Administrative Tools off the face of Control Panel and I would be trying to find out what caused it.

Perhaps the OP could confirm he could see it in Safe Mode under the Administrator login.
