Thank you for your reply.

Then it does not matter what the selected named, or renamed, user
accounts are, if within the Administrators Group, any one of the
members can restore/troubleshoot a problem.

I was greatly concerned that the original/default administrator user
account that is generated during installation of XPpro had something
else -builtin- that would be important if/when I had to contact Dell
for assistance. This computer has Dell OEM XPpro SP2 preinstalled.
