Built-in admin account screwed by KB912812



Hi,

I have my built-in administrator account screwed after I applied patch
KB912812.
When I reboot, after I passed the logon screen, it crashes with a fatal
error, logon failure BSOD.
The workaround I have is to logon with a different user, log off then
login with the built-in admin account. Sounds like the order of the
starting of services is messed up in my profile.
Note: At the initialization of my laptop, I was asked to give a logon
for the Administrator (I didn't know it was the built-in account) so it
is not 'Administrator' but 'LeDave'. I can see that in the admin
console.

The other thing I noticed: under "Documents and Settings", after the
patche was applied, the data under \Administrator was moved to \LeDave
(well, not everything). Because, althgouth the name changed, it was
still using \Administrator folder and there was no \LeDave.
If I look at the available profiles (System Properties/Advanced/User
Profiles), there is now no Administrator.
Some apps are still writing to \Administrator folders.

Question: How can I have my built-in account revert back to use
\Administrator folders for sure?
