Administrator as Only User ?

From: newsreader@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Date: 28 Jul 2006 16:21:04 -0700

My pc currently has one user (user1) in addition to the Administrator.
Since I'm the only one who uses it, can I delete user1 and have it
default to Admin without any problems? I looked in the Application
Data folder for user1 and there are folders there. If I can do the
first step, will I have to reload those programs or is there a way to
automatically move them from user1 to all users?

Thanks for any help and insight.
