There are no limits when it comes to bad programming. anonymuos, if I remember it right, then the built-in admin account in Windows XP is hidden by default for standalone machines. On domain members the built-in admin account is not disabled. Lukas, yes you are right. There are no limits when it comes to bad programming.

Then it's been the same from Windows XP, not Windows Vista. In Windows 2000, the admin account was the default. In Windows XP, the blue OOBE wizard forces you to create another account different from the admin account. If you Ctrl+Alt+Del after the OOBE wizard starts, you can login using the Admin account without creating another admin account. Is this the same admin account that TweakUI can enable/disable?
