using xp home edition, dell computer, 2.5 mos old. i am inquiring general
info regarding a new logon, "administrator" appears on the logon screen when
going into safe mode

 why is this created? can you access it without going into safe mode?

i had a problem locating a file, Dc1.dll, norton AV 2004 detected as an
adware item. it gave location of:
C:\Recycler\S-1-5-21-841434637-2603344999-1784572732-500\Dc1.dll

i have 3 users set up on machine.(all have admin privileges). emptied the 3
recycle bins several times, but file kept appearing in norton's scans. i
remembered having to go into safe mode one time, to clean spyware. went into
the newly created administrator logon because i thought i should. in
cleaning, the Dc1.dll file was deleted. it went into "administrator's"
recycle bin. i didn't think to go back into safe mode & log on to the
administrator & check the recycle bin there until recently. i emptied the
recycly bin in admin, & now norton scans clean.

any feedback appreciated. i had posted my problem in this forum:
