I cannot delete the second account even if there is 2 of them. I get the
message "You need at least one admin account on this machine" to serve user
accounts and such...
Why is this?? It seems like Windows cannot see my "main" Admin account,
because if I create a 3rd Admin account , then I get to delete the 2. Admin
account, bet the thing is I don't want to have more than one Administrators
account........

Are you trying to delete the "default" (as in the administrator acout
given the name Administator by default) administrator acount? If you
are, thats your problem, windows wont let you delete that acount, you
can how ever disable it, which has much the same effect.
