Bob, it just depends on how the OEM set up accounts. Some deliver the
system with just the default administrator account active - the account
will have the original default name or Administrator or possibly be the
same account renamed. Others will add an account within the administrative
group, leaving the default Administrator account intact.
Right click My Computer and select Manage. Under Local Users and Groups,
you will see a list of the existing accounts. If Administrator is listed in
addition to the account that you normally use, your account will not
disappear after adding another account.
If you see no other accounts within the administrator group then your
assumption scenario will play out. I'm not familiar with the page that
Gordon referred to. After a quick look over, it appears to cover all of the
steps for transferring data and settings to a new account. The MS Knowledge
Base also has a few articles that explain the process. You can find these
with a search here:
