OK so what I am hearing in XP Pro there is no way to make one administrator
ALPHA over another?

Hi,
is there a difference between the Administrator one gets when you log in
in
SAFE MODE vs an account that is declared Administrator in a USER account
context?

My gut tells me the SAFE MODE Administrator takes precedence? But of
course
I could be wrong and this is the reason I need to ask here. Thanks in
advance!

The Administrator account is a specific named account. Other accounts with
Administrator rights are different accounts.
