I've never heard the term "Default Administrator" account.
I have XP Home (SP2).
Safe mode offers me the option to login as either Administrator or Owner.
Fortunately I have never been offered a logon option when I boot into
regular windows mode, and I won't take any risks whatsoever that might
change that. That's exactly like I want it! I've only had headaches in the
past where logons are involved.
